simple_query_string

[TKassis]

I'm having issues using "simple_query_string".

The following works:

q = Q("match", body = {"query": search_term, "operator": "and", "fuzziness": 'auto'}) 
s = Search(using=client, index="testindex")
s = s.query(q)
response = s.execute()

But not this:

q = Q("simple_query_string", body = {"query": search_term, "fields": ["body"]})
s = Search(using=client, index="testindex")
s = s.query(q)
response = s.execute()

I get the following error:

RequestError: RequestError(400, 'parsing_exception', '[simple_query_string] unknown token [START_OBJECT] after [body]')

Solved! I had to use the following syntax:

q = Q("simple_query_string", query=search_term, fields=["app_number", "body"])
