I think for the query you are describing you would be better served checking out the [Boolean Query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-bool-query.html) to chain your constraints together.

As an aside: When making future posts, instead of posting screenshots consider posting pre-formatted text ([docs for syntax](https://help.disqus.com/customer/en/portal/articles/665057-syntax-highlighting)) instead, usually this is easier to read then having to scale images up and down.

Hope this helps,  
Isabel
