For a query like the one below, is there a way to identify which bool actually resulted in the result

GET /\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{ "match": {  
"title": {  
"query": "War and Peace",  
"boost": 2  
}}},  
{ "match": {  
"author": {  
"query": "Leo Tolstoy",  
"boost": 2  
}}},  
{ "bool": {  
"should": [  
{ "match": { "translator": "Constance Garnett" }},  
{ "match": { "translator": "Louise Maude" }}  
]  
}}  
]  
}  
}  
}

To my mind, I would say not, it's not possible. If you really need this information, you can run a multiget with one "should" per query.
