You can do this with a filter, see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/query-filter-context.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/query-filter-context.html)

Otherwise, provide more info. What have you tried? What does it look like? How does it not work for you? What do you expect?
