I'm using elastic and trying to find all document that doesn't contain some string.

I found out that I can do it with the regex .*string.* and use "must_not" query. but I really don't want to use it.

Is there another way? Thanks

  • For a better answer: describe why you do not want the solution you found so far Commented Jul 5, 2015 at 18:43
  • the query is very complicated and already nested 6 and even 7 times, so i don't wan't to make it more complicated than it is. Commented Jul 5, 2015 at 18:47
  • And what stops you from using a must_not with a match or term in it? Commented Jul 6, 2015 at 4:07

Complement ~ with ALL flags should do it.

Something like .*~string.
