I'm querying Elasticsearch with a bool should query. The returned document match one or more conditions in the should query. Is there anyway for me to know which (one or more) condition it matched from Elasticsearch's response?

Much appreciated!

You can add

```
"_name": "foo bar"

```

In each query and see the effect.
