I have {id, title, short\_description and description} in my document. I have to do search query on description text and want to reach title.  
Like if a person enters something in the description then matching titles appear.  
How to write such search queries.  
Please help

I am not sure I understand the question. The search result returns the full matched documents which contains the title field so you should be able to display this?

If you want to search multiple fields, then use a [`multi_match` query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-multi-match-query.html) across them.
