Can I combine documents matching different criteria in one query

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I want to search documents that match either of two following twi
criteria:

documents that have string term "test" in their content field

OR

document having timestamp say "2012-08-30T09:39:14"

I understand that if I wanted to do an AND it would be possible using *bool
*and *must *clause; but, I can't understand OR case.

Thanks

Look at a should clause, that is the equivalent of "OR".

"A boolean query with no |must| clauses, one or more |should| clauses
must match a document. "

thanks; but, I have must clause in the same boolean query. I will try
should clause and see how it goes.

Since you only posted twice in this thread and you changed your criteria
between them, I suggest you post the entire problem. I'm sure there is
a combination of clauses and nested queries that will get the job done.
