I want your help in how to query this in elastic search

"(content writing) AND ( java OR quality testing OR test designer OR testing OR jira OR communication development OR hp uft OR automation testing OR qa testing OR automation test engineer OR script programming OR python OR uft tool OR test management OR automated testing OR testing OR swift OR crest OR devops OR agile methodology OR automation frameworks OR software testing OR automation testing OR manual testing OR software test load OR hp uft OR automation OR testing OR uftaa OR communication skills )"

i am using query\_string  
but it is searching "quality testing" as two words like "quality" or "testing" but i want "quality" and "testing"

Would something like this work?

```
java OR (quality AND testing)

```

But I'd use a bool query instead of the query string query.
