如何在 Elasticsearch 中输入字段时添加模糊搜索？

Question

I've been trying to add some fuzziness to my search as you type field type on Elasticsearch, but never got the needed query. Anyone have any idea to implement this?

Answer 1

I know this question is asked long ago but I think this worked for me.

Since Elasticsearch allows a single field to be declared with multiple data types, my mapping is like below.

PUT products
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "title": {
        "type": "text",
        "fields": {
          "product_type": {
            "type": "search_as_you_type"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

After adding some data to the index I fetched like this.

GET products/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "multi_match": {
            "query": "prodc",
            "type": "bool_prefix",
            "fields": [
              "title.product_type",
              "title.product_type._2gram",
              "title.product_type._3gram"
            ]
          }
        },
        {
          "multi_match": {
            "query": "prodc",
            "fuzziness": 2
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Fuzzy Query returns documents that contain terms similar to the search term, as measured by a Levenshtein edit distance.

The fuzziness parameter can be specified as:

AUTO -- It generates an edit distance based on the length of the term. For lengths:

0..2 -- must match exactly

3..5 -- one edit allowed Greater than 5 -- two edits allowed

Adding working example with index data and search query.

Index Data:

{
  "title":"product"
}
{
  "title":"prodct"
}

Search Query:

    {
    "query": {
        "fuzzy": {
            "title": {
                "value": "prodc",
                "fuzziness":2,
                "transpositions":true,
                 "boost": 5
            }
        }
    }
}

Search Result:

"hits": [
  {
    "_index": "test",
    "_type": "_doc",
    "_id": "1",
    "_score": 2.0794415,
    "_source": {
      "title": "product"
    }
  },
  {
    "_index": "test",
    "_type": "_doc",
    "_id": "2",
    "_score": 2.0794415,
    "_source": {
      "title": "produt"
    }
  }
]

Update 1: Refer this ES official documentation

The fuzziness , prefix_length , max_expansions , rewrite , and fuzzy_transpositions parameters are supported for the terms that are used to construct term queries, but do not have an effect on the prefix query constructed from the final term.

There are some open issues and discuss links that states that - Fuzziness not work with bool_prefix multi_match (search-as-you-type)
