Could we give multiple search queries in the same track.json  
I want to give 2 queries which given below/ So I added it in several places in different ways to organize it . However, when I validate the .json , I get operation key is duplicated or json is invalid. Thank you.

```auto
{
"operation": {
"name": "term-search",
"operation-type": "search",
"body": {
"query": {
"term": {
"body": "Lago"
}
}
}
}

Example-2

{
"operation": {
"name": "query-match-all",
"operation-type": "search",
"body": {
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}

```

Hi! The `name` field should be in the task-level of the definition, not the operation-level:

```json
{
  //here
  "name": "my-task",
  "operation": {
  // not here
  ...
  }
}

```

By default, the task will just use the operation name (`search` in your case) as the task name, which means that they get duplicated in your configuration.

As mentioned by @RickBoyd , please also make sure you've read this part of the documentation: [Track Reference — Rally 2.2.1 documentation](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/track.html#schedule) that describes the different elements including examples.

Thank you Rick and Dliappis, with your guidance I managed to solve the json errors and now the track.json is taken but it get finished within few seconds and seemed the test not ran. Below is the track.json that I used.
