Search in elasticsearch using php curl

Question

I have make the application with elasticsearch and everything is running perfectly except the search using the php curl; the error is below

[match] query parsed in simplified form, with direct field name, but included more options than just the field name, possibly use its 'options' form, with 'query' element?]

but the same query is running perfectly in the command-line.

When I do some changes, I found this is occurring by the curl POST.

I am using the following code to run the php curl and tried the GET method too

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 200);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, strtoupper($method));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($params));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

and the query is

{"query":{"filtered":{"query":{"bool":{"should":[{"bool":{"should":[{"match_phrase":{"name":"india"}}],"boost":16}},{"bool":{"should":[{"match_phrase":{"description":"india"}}],"boost":8}},{"bool":{"should":[{"match":{"name":{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard"}}},{"match":{"description":{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard"}}}],"boost":4}},{"match":{"name.ngram":[{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard"}]}},{"match":{"description":[{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard"}]}},{"match":{"name.ngram":[{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard","fuzziness":"auto"}]}},{"match":{"description":[{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard","fuzziness":"auto"}]}}],"boost":2}},"filter":{"and":[{"terms":{"type":["book"]}},{"range":{"price":{"from":"1","to":"100"}}}]}}},"from":0,"size":20,"filter":{"and":[]},"sort":[{"popularity":{"order":"desc","missing":"_last"}}]}

Problem might be in you are using blank filters in your query dsl.

"filter": {
    "and":[]
}

Try without blank filters. Also top level filters are renamed in Elasticsearch 1.0 + version.

Update Query DSL:

{
   "query": {
      "filtered": {
         "query": {
            "bool": {
               "should": [
                  {
                     "bool": {
                        "should": [
                           {
                              "match_phrase": {
                                 "name": "india"
                              }
                           }
                        ],
                        "boost": 16
                     }
                  },
                  {

Answer 2

I found the solution; below is the correct json

{"query":{"filtered":{"query":{"bool":{"should":[{"bool":{"should":[{"match_phrase":{"name":"india"}}],"boost":16}},{"bool":{"should":[{"match_phrase":{"description":"india"}}],"boost":8}},{"bool":{"should":[{"match":{"name":{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard"}}},{"match":{"description":{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard"}}}],"boost":4}},{"match":{"name.ngram":{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard"}}},{"match":{"description":{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard"}}},{"match":{"name.ngram":{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard","fuzziness":"auto"}}},{"match":{"description":{"query":"india","analyzer":"standard","fuzziness":"auto"}}}],"boost":2}},"filter":[]}},"from":0,"size":20,"sort":[{"popularity":{"order":"desc","missing":"_last"}}]}

the problem is in the match query phase; I was appending the parameters in match query as nested array.

Now I have removed the nested array and append the options in match query phase as sequential array

Thanks guys for your co-opration
