What's the most efficient way to search over a month of data??

I notice I can't do a scan query with a data aggregation:  
`AggregationBuilder DATE_AGG = AggregationBuilders.dateHistogram("agg") .field("@timestamp") .interval(DateHistogramInterval.MONTH);`

My Query:  
`QueryBuilder MY_QUERY = QueryBuilders.boolQuery() .must(QueryBuilders.matchQuery("field1", "ABC")) .must(QueryBuilders.matchQuery("field2", "XYZ")) ;`

So what I want is the fastest way to filter out documents to a specific month and filter based on field1 AND field2 existing and matching specific Strings. I think I need a match all query with multiple field filters.
