Question

I have a index document structure like below;

{
   "term":"some term",
   "inlang":"some lang"
   "translations" : {
      {
          "translation":"some translation",
          "outlang":"some lang",
          "translations" : {
              {
                  "translation":"some translation 1"
                  "outlang": "some lang 1"
                  "translations" : {...}
              }
          }
      },
      ...
   } 
}

I want to find a translation in such documents. However, this translation can exists at any level of this document. Is it possible to search term dynamically by using elasticsearch?

For example,

{
   "query": {
      "*.translation":"searchterm"
   }
}

Thanks in advance

I have managed to do that with following query;

{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "query": "someterm",
      "fields": ["*.translation"]
    }
  }
}

or

{
  "query": {
    "multi_match": {
      "query": "someterm",
      "fields": ["*.translation"]
    }
  }
}
