I am using the following query :  
$params = ['index' =\> '201706', 'type' =\> 'youtube','body' =\> ['query' =\> ['bool' =\> [ 'filter' =\> ['range' =\> ['created\_at' =\> [ 'gte'=\> '2017-06-25 00:00:00','lte' =\> '2017-09-30 00:00:00']]], 'query' =\> ['match' =\> ['description' =\> 'kashmir']],],] ] ];

And I am getting this error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Elasticsearch\Common\Exceptions\BadRequest400Exception' with message '{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"parsing\_exception","reason":"[bool] query does not support [query]","line":1,"col":119}],"type":"parsing\_exception","reason":"[bool] query does not support [query]","line":1,"col":119},"status":400}' in /home/akhil/Documents/june/elastic/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Connections/Connection.php:610

Kindly help me rectify this issue  
Thanks,

Formatted:

```auto
$params = [
  'index' => '201706', 
  'type' => 'youtube', 
  'body' => [
    'query' => [
        'bool' => [
          'filter' => [
            'range' => [
                'created_at' => [
                    'gte' => '2017-06-25 00:00:00',
                    'lte' => '2017-09-30 00:00:00'
                ]
            ]
          ], 
          'query' => [
              'match' => [
                'description' => 'kashmir'
              ]
          ], 
      ],
    ]
  ]
];

```

The error is basically what it says: the boolean query doesn't support a "query" parameter, which you've added under the "filter" parameter.

Was your intention to make the match query a required component? The allowed parameters to a boolean query are `must`, `must_not`, `should` and `filter`.
