Whats wrong with the Elastic Search PHP search query? - php

Question

I've been trying to get the following JSON working in PHP Arrays but I don't seem to get any hits.
The JSON is as follows:
{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query": "search"
}
}
}
},
"fields": [
"body",
"title",
"postDate",
"user",
"name"
],
"from": 0,
"size": 50,
"sort": {
"_score": {
"order": "asc"
}
},
"explain": true
}
And the PHP I managed to create is like this:
$docs = $client->search([
'index' => 'blog',
'type' => 'posts',
'body' => [
'query' => [
'filtered' => [
'query' => [
'query_string' => [
'query' => $search_query
]
]
]
],
'fields' => [
'body',
'title',
'postDate',
'user',
'name'
],
'from' => 0,
'size' => 50,
'sort' => [
'_score' => [
'order' => 'asc'
]
]
]
]);
It returns an response but no hits, even though it should (and it does in case of the JSON request)
What is going on here?

Answer 1

The post type wasn't required at all... I somehow thought it was. I used a tool called ElasticHQ to generate the JSON and i didn't realize it wasnt using Posts as a type.
Changed it to
$docs = $client->search([
'index' => 'blog',
'body' => [
'query' => [
'filtered' => [
'query' => [
'query_string' => [
'query' => $search_query
]
]
]
],
'fields' => [
'body',
'title',
'postDate',
'user',
'name'
],
'from' => 0,
'size' => 50,
'sort' => [
'_score' => [
'order' => 'asc'
]
]
]
]);
