I have an amazon cloudsearch domain. The aim is to filter if the field 'language' exists. Not all objects have a language, and I want to have the ones which do have a language filtered, but the ones that do not have any language to also be returned.
I want to filter with
( or language:'en' language:null )
However, null cannot be passed within a string.
Is this possible? If so how would it be done.
I looked elsewhere aswell, it seems :
The simplest way to do that, is to set a default value for the field, and then use that value for your null.
For example, set the default to the string "null", then you can easily test for that.
I believe you can add a default value, and re-index, and that should reapply the default.
