Filter combined_fields result

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi

I'm working on a people search website. I already have my databases indexed and it is currently possible to search for a person by fullname using combined_fields query like this.

{
   "query":{
      "combined_fields":{
         "query":"' + criteria + '",
         "fields":[
            "SURNAMES",
            "NAMES"
         ],
         "operator":"and"
      }
   }
}

It works fine, but i also have fields CITY and PROVINCE, so maybe the user wants to filter by those fields or maybe not.

Do i need to take the full result of the above query or is there a way to do this in the same query? considering that it can be a response of more than 1000 results.

Thanks.

You can use a bool query and add other criteria as should, filter or must clauses.

This does not answer my question.

So I did not understand your question. May be rephrase it with more examples?
