search query in elasticsearch with url in field

Question

I have to search a file location path in the indexed data of an elastic search. I indexed the location path in an encoded format(tried without encoding also). The below query returns all the indexed data without doing any match. If I search with id or title field, it returns correct result.Do anyone have any idea?

{
"query": {
     "match": {
     "location": "%5c%5c25.94.150.212%5cfoldername%5cintroduction_to_c_sharp.ppt"
    }
}
}

Response I got from browser http://localhost:9200/documents

Create Index code which is having one field attachment:

        public void CreateDocumentIndex()
           {
               this.client.CreateIndex("documents", c =>  c.Mappings(mp=>mp.Map<IndexDocument>
                   (m => m.Properties(ps => ps.Attachment
                                       (a => a.Name(o => o.Document)
                                             .TitleField(t => t.Name(x =>     x.Title).TermVector(TermVectorOption.WithPositionsOffsets))
                                              )))));
  }

Properties to index

 public class IndexDocument
   {
    public long Id { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string DocumentName { get; set; }
    // Base64-encoded file content.
    public string Document { get; set; }
    public string DocumentType { get; set; }
    [Nest.String(Store = true, Index = Nest.FieldIndexOption.NotAnalyzed)]
    public string Location { get; set; }        
    public DateTime LastModifiedDate { get; set; }

 }

Answer 1

If your location field is not_analyzed, you can use a term query instead of a match.

{
   "query": {
      "term": {
         "location": "%5c%5c25.94.150.212%5cfoldername%5cintroduction_to_c_sharp.ppt"
      }
   }
}

Otherwise, you need to make your location field not_analyzed (see below) and reindex your data.

PUT your_index/_mapping/your_type
{
  "properties": {
    "location": {
      "type": "string"
      "fields": {
        "raw": {
          "type": "string",
          "index": "not_analyzed"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Then you can use the below term query

{
   "query": {
      "term": {
         "location.raw": "%5c%5c25.94.150.212%5cfoldername%5cintroduction_to_c_sharp.ppt"
      }
   }
}
