Hi Everyone,

I need a way to execute one query out of three. if any query executes successfully then other two queries must escape from execution.

Like:

if( a==10 OR a ==20){  
}  
else if( a==30 OR a ==40){  
}  
else if( a==50 OR a ==60){  
}

is it possible to achieve in elastic search to built a search query like this?

That is not possible. How about executing a [multisearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/search-multi-search.html) query instead and pick the query which has any results?
