Hi all !

I'm trying to merge multiple search query in ES but the result had no enough informations to match searched objects with results.

How can I do that ?

Thanks 🙂

**query sample:**

```
curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_search?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "query": {
    "terms": {
      "labels": ["Rebic", "Toto"],
      "boost": 1.0
    }
  }
}

curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_search?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
    "_source": ["labels", "id"],
    "query" : {
        "bool": {
            "should": [
                {"match" : { "labels" : "Rebic" }},
                {"match" : { "labels" : "Toto" }}
            ]
        }
    }
}' 

```

**response sample:**

```
{
  "took" : 6,
  "timed_out" : false,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "successful" : 1,
    "skipped" : 0,
    "failed" : 0
  },
  "hits" : {
    "total" : {
      "value" : 15,
      "relation" : "eq"
    },
    "max_score" : 24.525375,
    "hits" : [
      {
        "_index" : "enwiki_latest",
        "_type" : "_doc",
        "_id" : "r-1jU3QBzwBIdiQJJlKB",
        "_score" : 24.525375,
        "_source" : {
          "id" : "\"Q87486800\"",
          "labels" : "{\"en\": {\"language\": \"en\", \"value\": \"Jelena Rebic\"}, \"nl\": {\"language\": \"nl\", \"value\": \"Jelena Rebic\"}}"
        }
      },
      {
        "_index" : "enwiki_latest",
        "_type" : "_doc",
        "_id" : "ktgeU3QBzwBIdiQJ2ssN",
        "_score" : 17.667746,
        "_source" : {
          "id" : "\"Q2384109\"",
          "labels" : "{\"fr\": {\"language\": \"fr\", \"value\": \"La T\\u00eate \\u00e0 Toto\"}}"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

Can you describe in more detail what you're trying to do? What is this system and what's the query for?

The relationship between result and query is that the first result contains the word "Rebic" and the second result contains the word "Toto", both in the field "labels". The queries worked. What other information do you need Elasticsearch to return?

I think you want the [highlight functionality](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/highlighting.html). Maybe start with something simple to start, like the plain highlighter in [this example](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/highlighting.html#set-highlighter-type).

EDIT: Let us know how it goes and share your query! It'll help other users (and is personally interesting..)
