ElasticSearch range

GET _search
{
    "query": {
        "range" : {
            "age" : {
                "gte" : 10,
                "lte" : 20,
                "boost" : 2.0
            }
        }
    }

The range query accepts the following parameters:

gte	Greater-than or equal to
gt	Greater-than
lte	Less-than or equal to
lt	Less-than
boost	Sets the boost value of the query, defaults to 1.0

Ranges on date fieldsedit

When running range queries on fields of type date, ranges can be specified using Date Mathedit:

GET _search
{
    "query": {
        "range" : {
            "date" : {
                "gte" : "now-1d/d",
                "lt" :  "now/d"
            }
        }
    }
}

Date math and roundingedit

When using date math to round dates to the nearest day, month, hour, etc, the rounded dates depend on whether the ends of the ranges are inclusive or exclusive.

Rounding up moves to the last millisecond of the rounding scope, and rounding down to the first millisecond of the rounding scope. For example:

gt	Greater than the date rounded up: 2014-11-18||/M becomes 2014-11-30T23:59:59.999, ie excluding the entire month.
gte	Greater than or equal to the date rounded down: 2014-11-18||/M becomes 2014-11-01, ie including the entire month.
lt	Less than the date rounded down: 2014-11-18||/M becomes 2014-11-01, ie excluding the entire month.
lte	Less than or equal to the date rounded up: 2014-11-18||/M becomes 2014-11-30T23:59:59.999, ie including the entire month.

Date format in range queriesedit

Formatted dates will be parsed using the format specified on the date field by default, but it can be overridden by passing the format parameter to the range query:

GET _search
{
    "query": {
        "range" : {
            "born" : {
                "gte": "01/01/2012",
                "lte": "2013",
                "format": "dd/MM/yyyy||yyyy"
            }
        }
    }
}

Note that if the date misses some of the year, month and day coordinates, the missing parts are filled with the start of unix time, which is January 1st, 1970. This means, that when e.g. specifying ddas the format, a value like "gte" : 10 will translate to 1970-01-10T00:00:00.000Z.

Time zone in range queriesedit

Dates can be converted from another timezone to UTC either by specifying the time zone in the date value itself (if the format accepts it), or it can be specified as the time_zone parameter:

GET _search
{
    "query": {
        "range" : {
            "timestamp" : {
                "gte": "2015-01-01 00:00:00", 

                "lte": "now", 

                "time_zone": "+01:00"
            }
        }
    }
}

COPY AS CURL VIEW IN CONSOLE  

	This date will be converted to 2014-12-31T23:00:00 UTC.
	now is not affected by the time_zone parameter (dates must be stored as UTC).
