Date Filter on elastic search - date

Question

I'm trying to create a Range Filter on elastic search using the following syntax:
{
"size": 100,
"filter": {
"and": {
"filters": [
{
"range": {
"listingDate": {
"gt": "15/07/2017 16:08:53"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
The data format is:
"listingDate": "07/07/2015 09:30:00",
However regardless of the filter properties the same incorrect results are being returned by elastic search. I have tried adding the following format:
"format": "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
but I get the same incorrect results.
A fuller example is:
{
"size": 100,
"sort": [
{
"listingDate": {
"order": "asc"
}
}
],
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"query_string": {
"query": "Event"
}
},
{
"range": {
"listingDate": {
"gte": "15/07/2015 16:08:53"
}
}
},
{
"range": {
"endDate": {
"gte": "15/07/2015 16:08:53"
}
}
}
]
}
},
"filter": {
"and": {
"filters": [
{
"terms": {
"departments": [
"2393"
]
}
}
]
}
}
}

Answer 1

In JSON documents, dates are represented as strings. Elasticsearch uses a set of preconfigured formats to recognize and parse these strings into a long value representing milliseconds-since-the-epoch in UTC. It might be possible that your date field might not be listed in the set of preconfigured ES date formats.
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.
{
"range" : {
"listingDate" : {
"gte": "07/07/2015 09:30:00",
"format": "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
}
}
}

let suppose "arr" argument have a date range e.g. ["2019-07-10","2019-07-11"]
let start_date_query;
let range=[];
if ( arr.date_from ){
if(arr.date_from[1]){
range.push({
"range":{
"start_date":{ "gte":arr.date_from[0] }
}
});
range.push({
"range":{
"end_date":{ "lte": arr.date_from[1] }
}
});
start_date_query = {
"query": {
"constant_score": {
"filter": {
"bool": {
"must":range
}
}
}
};
}
}
}
