How would I include documents to my result (given \_id's) when they DONT match the query?
example query:
```
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"term": {
"purpose": {
"value": "my_important_value_that_must_comply"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
```
resulting in all documents matching the above, but ALSO include documents in the (same?) result with given \_id [1,2,3] (which dont match the criteria above)
How would I achieve this?
I'm running Elasticsearch version 5.5
Thanks in advance!

What about this?
A `bool` query with 2 `should` clauses:
- One `should` clause is the `term` query you mentioned.
- The other `should` clause would be a `bool` query with a
- `must` clause which contains an `id` query
- `must_not` clause which contains the `term` query you mentioned.
