Get data in daterange plus first date before and after this daterange

I am quite new to elasticsearch and I am impressed by all the functionality it offers. Now I have a special case, where I am not sure if elasticsearch will be able to handle it.

Overall I am searching for a type within a daterange. But in addition I need the first date before and after this daterange as well. I do not know how far these dates are away, so I can not just add a specific amount of days to the daterange.

I know this would be possible with 3 different queries, but would it be possible in just one query as well?

Here is a small example what I would like to achieve

[uuid1] = [
['id' => 1, 'date' => '1970/01/01 12:00:00', 'val' => 'ages ago'],
['id' => 2, 'date' => '2010/01/01 12:00:00', 'val' => 'randomValueSomewhereInThePast'],
['id' => 3, 'date' => '2017/01/03 12:00:00', 'val' => 'valueInTimeRange3'],
['id' => 4, 'date' => '2017/01/04 12:00:00', 'val' => 'valueInTimeRange4'],
['id' => 5, 'date' => '2017/01/05 12:00:00', 'val' => 'valueInTimeRange5'],
['id' => 6, 'date' => '2017/01/06 12:00:00', 'val' => 'valueInTimeRange6'],
['id' => 7, 'date' => '2020/01/05 12:00:00', 'val' => 'randomValueSomewhereInTheFuture']
['id' => 8, 'date' => '9999/01/05 12:00:00', 'val' => 'wayTooFarAway']
]

As you can see I got several dates. Now I have a given DateRange from

So a simple request with range would return me values 3,4,5,6. But I need values 2 & 7 aswell. These are the dates right before and right after my range. I do not know when they are so I can not just adjust the rang.

Is this possible in elasticsearch with just one query?

Thank you!

Hey,

you should go with three queries here. Just use the multi search API
