Elasticsearch is a popular distributed search and analytics engine designed to handle large volumes of data for fast, real-time searches. Elasticsearch’s capabilities make it useful in many essential cases like log analysis. Its users can create their own analytics queries to streamline analyzing data stored in an index.

Each query covered here will fall into 2 types:

Structured Queries: queries that are used to retrieve structured data such as dates, numbers, pin codes, etc.

Full-text Queries: queries that are used to query plain text.

Note: For this article and the related operations, we’re using Elasticsearch and Kibana version 8.9.0. Here we go :

• 1. match
• 2. multi-match
• 3. match_phrase
• 4.match_phrase_prefix
• 5. term
• 6. exists
• 7. range
• 8. ids
• 9. prefix
• 10. wildcard
• 11. regexp
• 12. fuzzy
• 13. bool
• 14. function_score
