NAME

App::ElasticSearch::Utilities::QueryString::AutoEscape - Provides a prefix of '=' to use the term filter

VERSION

version 8.6

SYNOPSIS

App::ElasticSearch::Utilities::QueryString::AutoEscape

Provide an '=' prefix to a query string parameter to promote that parameter to a term filter.

This allows for exact matches of a field without worrying about escaping Lucene special character filters.

E.g.:

user_agent:"Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 12_1_2 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1"

Is evaluated into a weird query that doesn't do what you want. However:

=user_agent:"Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 12_1_2 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1"

Is translated into:

{ term => { user_agent => "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 12_1_2 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.0 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1" } }

Which provides an exact match to the term in the query.
