```
 `GET my_index/my_type2/_search
{
"query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": {
                "multi_match": {
                    "query": "sample",
                    "fields": ["Tags"]
                }
            },
            "filter": {
                "term": {
                    "Collection":"collectionTwo"
                }

Could you provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer.

Here may be try to filter with `collectiontwo` instead of `collectionTwo`
