I'm trying to get the counts of my leads object and contacts objects based on the query

e.g below is my index

```

}

```

I want to query or perform aggregations in a way that my result does not contain some inner objects (contacts in my case) which does not match the query. e.g I want to get the counts of contacts where contactType = Mail.

Right now when I apply query on contactType = Mail. I get inner objects with contactType Mail as well as other contacts with diff contactType because they belong to same parent document.

Please help, I want to get the correct count of my leads and contacts. Similarly If I try to generate buckets based on this contactType=Mail query, I get other stuff too in my contactType bucket.
