I am trying to run the following query for an index along with wildcard:

{"wildcard:"{"terminalId":70}} AND tranSactionResponseCode:1

The above query throws and error: Failed to parse query.......

but when I run only the above query as: {"wildcard:"{"terminalId":70}} or when I run only the AND condition: tranSactionResponseCode:1 it runs successfully. Please help me in figuring out how do I use both the conditions in one single query.

I think you should be able to use the first one without wildcard as the Query bar already uses wildcards, so a `terminalId:70 AND tranSactionResponseCode:1` query should be good.
