Hi,

I am running the following query template for fetching filtered  
results according to Field1,

{  
"fields" : [],  
"sort" : [  
{ "Size" : {"order" : "asc"} }  
],

"query": {  
"filtered" : {  
"query" : {  
"query\_string" : {  
"query" : "arien"  
}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"term" : {  
"Field1" : "some\_data1"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"highlight" : {  
"order" : "score",  
"fields" : {  
"Content" : {"fragment\_size" : 300, "number\_of\_fragments" : 15}  
}  
}  
}

I want to provide two filters for getting those results such that  
results of the query should filtered out with both those filters  
simultaneously..lets say "Field2" : "some\_data2".

I am trying to experiment this in different ways but somehow I always  
ended up in illegal json exceptions or false results.So can someone  
please suggest how to design this multiple field filter.  
Thanks;  
Arien

If I read your requirements correctly, you are looking for an AND filter.  
Find documentation including examples here:  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/and-filter.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/and-filter.html)
