How to do it

The code for the search is in the 11/02/search_starwars_by_haircolor.py script, and can be run by simply executing the script. This is a fairly simple search to find the characters whose hair color is blond:

1. The main portion of the code is:

es = Elasticsearch(    [        "https://elastic:[e-mail]:9243"    ])search_definition = {    "query":{        "match": {            "hair_color": "blond"        }    }}result = es.search(index="sw", doc_type="people", body=search_definition)print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))

2. A search is performed by constructing a dictionary that expresses an Elasticsearch DSL query. In this case, our query asks for all documents where the "hair_color" property is "blond"
