Hi,

I am using elasticsearch for last 6 months. This is awesome framework.  
I am unable to search on array of documents.

ex:- Index documents

{  
cust\_name: "samanth"address: [{  
address1: "india hyderabad"  
},  
{  
address1: "india delhi"  
},  
{  
address1: "india chennai"  
},  
{  
address1: "india bangalore"  
}  
]  
}

{  
cust\_name: "Rama"address: [{  
address1: "india Kolkata"  
},  
{  
address1: "india bangalore"  
}  
]  
}

I want to search on "address1" field.

Can anybody help me on this?

Thanks & Regards,  
Samanth

This does not look as correct JSON.

Could you gist a full SENSE script?

It will help to understand what you did so far and where is your issue.
