Hi,

I'm not sure how to write a query the should filter on range and term. I have tried this (without the dots!) but it does not work:

> {  
> ...."size": 8,  
> ...."query": {  
> ........"bool": {  
> ............"filter": {  
> ................"bool": {  
> ...................."must": {  
> ........................"range": {  
> ............................."timestamp": {  
> .................................."gte": 0,  
> .................................."lte": 8888888888  
> .............................}  
> .........................},  
> ........................."terms": {  
> ............................."myfield": ["aValue"]  
> .........................}  
> .....................}  
> .................}  
> .............},  
> ............."must": {  
> ................."query\_string": {  
> ....................."query": "something",  
> ....................."fields": ["description"]  
> .................}  
> .............}  
> .........}  
> ....}  
> }

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Stuart

Sorry, just found the solution myself. The must element should have been followed by a list.
