Querying a nested object

What is the proper way to query a nested object? Example: s = Search(using=es).index("my_index").query("nested", path="features", query=Q("term", features__name="foo"))

The code expects keyword parameters, but specifying a nested field like ‘features.name’ as keyword parameter is not possible and ‘features__name’ is not converted into ‘features.name’.

If it’s not supported, I could add some code that will properly replace double underscores with periods.

Thanks for the feedback, in abd0075bba01f58dd3294528c264d0beee5e136d I added an option to override this behavior by sending _expand__to_dot=False: Q('match', field__with__underscores='value', _expand__to_dot=False)

Hope this helps

Hi Adriaan, converting a__b to a.b is indeed not supported. Currently you can achieve the code you want by specifying: s = Search(using=es).index("my_index").query("nested", path="features", query=Q("term", **{'features.name': "foo"})) …which is obviously far from ideal.

Transforming __ to the dots sounds definitely like a good idea - something the Q and F shortcuts could do. I will look into it.

Thanks!
