hello , I am trying to search nested .  
I dont know what I am doing wrong .

MY MAPPING

```auto
{
  "user-data-info": {
    "mappings": {
      "dynamic": "false",
      "properties": {
        "company": {
          "type": "nested"
        },
        "timestamp": {
          "type": "date",
          "format": "yyyy-MM-dd"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

```auto
GET user-data-info/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match_all": {}
  }
}

```

RESULT - FOUND 1 RESULT

```auto
{
  "took": 0,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 1,
    "successful": 1,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": {
      "value": 1,
      "relation": "eq"
    },
    "max_score": 1,
    "hits": [
      {
        "_index": "user-data-info",
        "_id": "bb56iYkB8sgA-4K-OT_i",
        "_score": 1,
        "_source": {
          "timestamp": "2023-06-01",
          "company": {
            "id": 1,
            "name": "Nike"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

```

SEACHING NESTED

```auto
GET /user-data-info/_search
{
  "query": {
    "nested": {
      "path": "company",
      "query": {
        "bool": {
          "must": [
            { "match": { "company.id": 1 } }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

RESULT / FOUND 0

```auto
{
  "took": 0,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 1,
    "successful": 1,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": {
      "value": 0,
      "relation": "eq"
    },
    "max_score": null,
    "hits": []
  }
}

Hi @Murilo_Livorato,

The nested query that you're sending in looks right.

I duplicated the example that you gave, but my mappings looked a bit different from yours:

```auto
PUT /user-data-info/_mapping
{
  "properties": {
    "company": {
      "type": "nested"
    },
    "timestamp": {
      "type": "date",
      "format": "yyyy-MM-dd"
    }
  }
}

```

Using this mapping, and the following document:

```auto
POST user-data-info/_doc/1
{
  "company": {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "nike"
  }
}

```

The nested query you posted should work. Perhaps you can look at your index mappings and settings and make sure that it's correct?

Good luck!

I'm not sure that this really qualifies for nested docs:

```auto
{
  "timestamp": "2023-06-01",
  "company": {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Nike"
  }
}

```

I'd do instead:

```auto
{
  "timestamp": "2023-06-01",
  "company": [{
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Nike"
  }]
}

```

I changed this field , and it worked -

```auto
"dynamic": "true " 

```
