Elastic search match query over array object

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Suppose i've 3 doc

doc_1 = {
    "citedIn": [
        "Bar Councils Act, 1926 - Section 15",
        "Contract Act, 1872 - Section 23"
    ]
}

doc_2 = {
    "citedIn":[
        "15 C. B 400", 
        "Contract Act, 1872 - Section 55"
    ]
}

doc_3 = {
    "citedIn":[
        "15 C. B 400", 
        "Contract Act, 1872 - Section 15"
    ]
}

Here citedIn field is a array object.Now i want run a stander match query

{
    "query":
    {
        "match": {"citedIn":{"query": "Contract act 15" , "operator":"and" }}
    }

}

The above query return all of the 3 doc, but it suppose to return doc_3 as only doc_3 contain Contract, act and 15 together in a single array element .

i also did try nested field.
This Is my mapping

{
    "mappings": {
        "properties": {
            "citedIn": {
                "type": "nested",
                "include_in_parent": true,
                "properties": {
                    "someFiled": {
                        "type": "text",
                        "fields": {
                            "keyword": {
                                "type": "keyword",
                                "ignore_above": 256
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This is my data

doc_1 = {
    "citedIn": [
        {"someFiled" : "Bar Councils Act, 1926 - Section 15"},
        {"someFiled" : "Contract Act, 1872 - Section 23"}
    ]
}

doc_2 = {
    "citedIn":[
        {"someFiled" : "15 C. B 400"}
        {"someFiled" : "Contract Act, 1872 - Section 55"}
    ]
}

doc_3 = {
    "citedIn":[
        {"someFiled" : "15 C. B 400"},
        {"someFiled" : "Contract Act, 1872 - Section 15"}
    ]
}

This is my query

{
    "query":
    {

        "match": {"citedIn.someFiled":{"query": "Contract act 15" , "operator":"and" }}
            
        
    }
}

But still getting same result .

How would i achieve this ?

Any suggestion/Solution would be preferable

Hey,

you also need to wrap the match query within a nested query. See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.9/query-dsl-nested-query.html - not sure if you did this.

Also, please a provide a fully reproducible example, that others can copy&paste into the kibana dev tools console. It's easier to test than incomplete snippets of programming languages... THanks!
