Fuzzy Like This Field Query

edit

Deprecated in 1.6.0.

This query will be removed in Elasticsearch 2.0

The fuzzy_like_this_field query is the same as the fuzzy_like_this query, except that it runs against a single field. It provides nicer query DSL over the generic fuzzy_like_this query, and support typed fields query (automatically wraps typed fields with type filter to match only on the specific type).

{
    "fuzzy_like_this_field" : {
        "name.first" : {
            "like_text" : "text like this one",
            "max_query_terms" : 12
        }
    }
}

fuzzy_like_this_field can be shortened to flt_field.

The fuzzy_like_this_field top level parameters include:

Parameter	Description
`like_text`	The text to find documents like it, required.
`ignore_tf`	Should term frequency be ignored. Defaults to `false`.
`max_query_terms`	The maximum number of query terms that will be included in any generated query. Defaults to `25`.
`fuzziness`	The fuzziness of the term variants. Defaults to `0.5`. See Fuzziness.
`prefix_length`	Length of required common prefix on variant terms. Defaults to `0`.
`boost`	Sets the boost value of the query. Defaults to `1.0`.
`analyzer`	The analyzer that will be used to analyze the text. Defaults to the analyzer associated with the field.
