I use bool should in bool must query like below.  
{  
"query":{  
"bool":{  
"must":[  
{  
"bool": {  
"should":[  
{  
"match":{  
"securityType":"ACCESS"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
{  
"match": {  
"secuirtyEvent":"Read"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

```
  I want to know default value of minimum_should_match when I use bool should query in bool must query. Is it one?
```
