- Frequently used to match on exact value
- An equivalent of Sql statement:
select * from orders where id = "1"
- Example
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/orders/_search?pretty=true' \ -H 'content-type:application/json' \ -d '{ "query" : { "term": { "id": "1" } } }'
- Note that 'from orders' part of the statement is part of the Url rather than body
- Capable of handling numbers, booleans, dates, and text
- Often used as a filter rather than for scoring, commonly used with
constant_score
:curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/orders/_search?pretty=true' \ -H 'content-type:application/json' \ -d '{ "query" : { "constant_score" : { "filter" : { "term": { "id": "1" } } } } }'
