This code searches for documents containing "express js" in the "books" index and "book" type within an Elasticsearch database.
npm run import -- "use elastic search from node"
var elasticsearch = require('elasticsearch')
var client = elasticsearch.Client({
host: 'localhost:9200'
})
client.search({
index: 'books',
type: 'book',
body: {
query: {
multi_match: {
query: 'express js',
fields: ['title', 'description']
}
}
}
}).then(function (response) {
var hits = response.hits.hits
}, function (error) {
console.trace(error.message)
})
```javascript
// Import the required elasticsearch client library
const { Client } = require('elasticsearch');
// Create a client instance connected to the local elasticsearch server at port 9200
const client = new Client({
host: 'localhost:9200',
});
// Define the search query with the relevant fields
const searchQuery = {
index: 'books',
type: 'book',
body: {
query: {
multi_match: {
query: 'express js',
fields: ['title', 'description'],
fuzziness: 1, // optional: enable fuzziness for more flexible search
},
},
},
};
// Execute the search query and handle the response
client.search(searchQuery)
.then((response) => {
// Extract the hits from the search response
const hits = response.hits.hits;
// Process the hits as needed (e.g., map over them, extract specific data, etc.)
// For this example, we'll just log the hits
console.log(hits);
// If you need to handle multiple pages of hits, consider using pagination
// For example:
// const pagination = { from: 0, size: 10 };
// const allHits = [];
// while (true) {
// const searchResponse = await client.search({
// ...searchQuery,
// from: pagination.from,
// size: pagination.size,
// });
// allHits.push(...searchResponse.hits.hits);
// if (searchResponse.hits.total < pagination.from + pagination.size) {
// break;
// }
// pagination.from += pagination.size;
// }
// console.log(allHits);
})
.catch((error) => {
// Handle any errors that occur during the search
// logging the error is a good start, but consider adding more context or actions
console.error('Failed to execute search query:', error.message);
// TODO: implement error handling and logging as needed
});
```
This code performs a search within an Elasticsearch index named "books" for documents matching the query "express js".
Here's a breakdown:
Dependencies:
elasticsearch
library for interacting with Elasticsearch.Client Connection:
Search Query:
client.search
method:
index
: Specifies the index to search within ("books").type
: Specifies the document type within the index ("book").body
: Contains the search query parameters:
query
: Defines the search query using a multi_match
query:
query
: The search term ("express js").fields
: The fields to search within ("title" and "description").Response Handling:
.then
to handle the successful response from Elasticsearch:
.catch
to handle any errors during the search:
console.trace
