I have a page with different sections say abstract, 'see also' etc. I want  
to register queries with some word appearing in abstract field and some  
other word appearing in 'see also' field

So my registerer query looks like :  
String source = {"query": {"term":{ "abstract" :"laptop",  
"seealso": "notebook"}}}  
IndexResponse resp = client.prepareIndex("\_percolator", "Test",  
"laptop").setSource(source).execute().get();

I see the new indexed document when I run  
curl -XGET  
[http://localhost:9200/\_percolator/\_search?pretty=true&q={'matchAll':{''}](http://localhost:9200/_percolator/_search?pretty=true&q=%7B'matchAll':%7B''%7D)}

Now I want to do percolate request on either abstract or/and seealso  
section. But I get the results only when the abstract field matches  
PercolateRequest request = client.preparePercolate("Test",  
"test").request();  
request.source("{"doc":{"abstract" :"laptop", "seealso":  
"notebook"}"); -- gives result

// request.source("{"doc":{"seealso":  
"notebook"}"); --does not give results  
// request.source("{"doc":{"abstract" :"lappy", "seealso":  
"notebook"}"); --does not give results

PercolateResponse res = client.percolate(request).get();

Please let me know is there a way to achieve this functionality using  
percolator?

Thanks
