I have a parent which has multiple different types of children. Is it possible to preform a has\_child search over multiple types of children?

something like

> ```
> {
> "has_child" : {
> "type" : "*",       
> "query" : {
> "term" : {
> "tag" : "something"
> }
> }
> }
> }
> 
> ```

No that's not possible, you'll need to do one query per child type.
