I have an elasticsearch Document that has around 15 fields.
I should be able to target every field for filtering.
But sometimes, I need to filter documents by CategoryName and MerchantID,
While other time I need to filter documents by CategoryID and Price. etc
I have written a query packing all the 15 fields.
If I don't provide values for the remaining 13 fields it throws an error saying value missing.
Is there any methodology in elasticsearch that would make the behaviour dynamic??
