Hello,

I am trying to search with uri and with some parameter. Imagine we have two docs:

\_source":{"nr":1,"name":"andi"}

and

\_source":{"nr":2,"name":"andy"}.

now im try an uri search and get name andi and andy as a result. In my understanding it should work like that:

localhost:9200/myindex/mytyp/\_search?q= name:andi OR name:andy & sort=nr:desc &pretty

unfortunately this doesnt work ☹ is there another way to search with an uri for both values?  
I prefer uri search !

regards  
andi

found it by myself:  
just set some brackets around the fields.

localhost:9200/myindex/mytyp/\_search?q= (name:andi OR name:andy) & sort=nr:desc &pretty
