Hi,

I want to do multiple text search in same field

for example in sub\_cat\_seo\_url field i want to get 'english-news' and 'business-news' filter by language and region

when i tried like below code it is not working

```
{
   "query":{
      "filtered":{
         "query":{
            "query_string":{
               "query":[
                  "english-news",
                  "business-news"
               ],
               "fields":[
                  "sub_cat_seo_url"
               ]
            }
         },
         "filter":{
            "bool":{
               "must":[
                  {
                     "term":{
                        "lang":"en"
                     }
                  },
                  {
                     "term":{
                        "region":"1"
                     }
                  }
               ]
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

```

For single text search it is working fine

```
{
   "query":{
      "filtered":{
         "query":{
            "query_string":{
               "query":"english-news",
               "fields":[
                  "sub_cat_seo_url"
               ]
            }
         },
         "filter":{
            "bool":{
               "must":[
                  {
                     "term":{
                        "lang":"en"
                     }
                  },
                  {
                     "term":{
                        "region":"1"
                     }
                  }
               ]
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

```

Maybe try this:

```auto
{
   "query":{
      "filtered":{
        "query": {
          "bool": {
            "should": [
              {
                "query_string": {
                  "query": "english-news",
                  "fields": ["sub_cat_seo_url"]
                }
              },
              {
                "query_string": {
                  "query": "business-news",
                  "fields": ["sub_cat_seo_url"]
                }
              }
            ]
          }
        },
         "filter":{
            "bool":{
               "must":[
                  {
                     "term":{
                        "lang":"en"
                     }
                  },
                  {
                     "term":{
                        "region":"1"
                     }
                  }
               ]
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

```
