Rule query
editRule query
editThis functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
Applies query rules to the query before returning results. This feature is used to promote documents in the manner of a Pinned Query based on matching defined rules. If no matching query rules are defined, the "organic" matches for the query are returned.
To use the rule query, you first need a defined set of query rules. Use the query rules management APIs to create and manage query rules. For more information and examples see Searching with query rules.
Example request
editGET /_search { "query": { "rule_query": { "match_criteria": { "user_query": "pugs" }, "ruleset_id": "my-ruleset", "organic": { "match": { "description": "puggles" } } } } }
