My Elasticsearch query is like that:

When I remove one of the filters terms for example `fk_product_group` it works perfectly but when use both filters I get fatal error with code 400 Bad request.

Hi @nagiyevel,

you have to nest your query differently as the `term` query does only support one term. See also the [bool query docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/query-dsl-bool-query.html).

In your example you need to do something along the lines of:

```auto
[filter] => Array(
    [bool] => Array(
        [must] => Array(
            [term] => Array(
                [fk_product_category] => 1
            ),
            [term] => Array(
                [fk_product_group] => 1
            )
        )
    )
) 

```

although I am not sure whether you need the `Array` also for the `term` query (maybe that's specific to your program language which I do not recognize from this example).
