🌐 Web query:

official Elasticsearch query_string wildcard queries on text fields are matched against indexed terms and are not matched against the original whole field value

💡 Result:

**Yes, with a caveat.** Elastic documents that `query_string` wildcard patterns operate on *terms*, and that `text` fields are analyzed into indexed tokens—not searched as their original, whole string value. So a wildcard must match an indexed term; it does not perform a substring search over the original field value. ([elastic.co](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/query-languages/query-dsl/query-dsl-query-string-query?utm_source=openai))

The caveat: `query_string` can analyze wildcard terms in some cases when `analyze_wildcard: true`—notably patterns ending in `*`—but this still doesn’t make it search the untouched whole field value. ([elastic.co](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/query-languages/query-dsl/query-dsl-query-string-query?utm_source=openai))

For whole-value or arbitrary-substring matching, consider a `keyword` or `wildcard` field; Elastic describes the `wildcard` type as suited to grep-like searches over full values. ([elastic.co](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.19/keyword.html?utm_source=openai))

Keep the .keyword fields for the wildcard defaults.

When fullTextFields is omitted, buildFullTextQuery uses title and visualId. These are analyzed Text fields. The wildcard query matches indexed terms, not the original field value. Searches containing a substring across a delimiter can therefore miss cases that matched the previous .keyword fields.

Suggested fix 
-            "title", 2f,
+            "title.keyword", 2f,
             "authorName", 1f,
             "authorEmail", 1f,
-            "visualId", 2f
+            "visualId.keyword", 2f

around lines 15 - 18:
Update the default full-text field names used by buildFullTextQuery so the
wildcard defaults for title and visualId target their .keyword fields. Leave
authorName and authorEmail unchanged.
