I have a document mapping like this:

```
{
    "id": 1,
    "some_category_ids": [1, 2, 3]
}

```

I would like to search documents which includes specified category\_ids.  
For example, when I specify in query `"some_category_ids": [2, 3]` , I want to get documents which has some\_category\_ids `2 or 3`.

It does not work with query like this:

```
{
    "query": {
        { "match": { "some_category_ids": [2, 3] } }
    }
}

```

How to achieve what I want?
