How to Include a Nested Array Field in an Elasticsearch Search Query with C#

When working with Elasticsearch, handling complex data structures such as nested arrays can often pose challenges, particularly if you need to perform searches that include these fields. In this guide, we'll explore how to include a nested array field in a search query using C# . We'll break down the problem and provide a practical code solution to help you effectively search within nested structures.

Understanding the Problem

In an Elasticsearch document, you may encounter scenarios where you need to search multiple fields as well as fields that are nested within arrays. In this specific case, we have an applicant document that includes skills, feedbacks, and other relevant attributes that we want to search through. Here’s a quick glance at our document structure:

In our case, we want to search in the following fields:

skills

fullName

email

feedbacks (specifically the comment field within the nested array)

Crafting the Solution

To perform a search that encompasses nested array fields in Elasticsearch using C# , we can utilize the Nested query. Below, we will discuss how to integrate this into our search logic.

Step-by-step Code Solution

Here’s a walkthrough of how to structure your search query to target both regular and nested fields:

Explanation of the Code

Define the Keyword: The example starts by defining a keyword that you wish to search for within the fields.

Search Query:

Match Queries: It uses Match queries to look for the specified keyword in the Skills, FullName, and Email fields.

Nested Query: It implements a Nested query to access the Feedbacks field. Using Path specifies the location of the nested field, and then it employs another Match to find the keyword in the Comment field of the Feedbacks.

Conclusion

Incorporating nested arrays in your search queries can enhance the capability of your Elasticsearch interactions significantly. By utilizing the above structure, you can ensure that you're effectively searching across both top-level and nested attributes within your documents.

By following these guidelines and examples, you should be well-equipped to tackle similar scenarios within your own applications, making your search functionalities much more robust and comprehensive.
