So i want to enquire about composite query in kibana filter aggregation. i am using kibana 5.4.3.  
I applied one filter like,  
method.raw:"methodName"  
now two method names are same but are from different class. So i'd like to apply a composite filter like,  
method.raw:"methodName" and class.raw:"ClassName"

Currently i can't figure out a way to provide such a composite query in filters. Could you help me with that?

You are nearly there! This should work (note the capitalization):

`method.raw:"methodName" AND class.raw:"ClassName"`

In general, you can use either [Lucene Query Syntax](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax) or [Elasticsearch Query DSL](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl.html) for the filter expression.

Here's an example showing the use of Lucene Query Syntax in the filter expressions:

And here's the same example but constructed using Elasticsearch Query DSL in the filter expressions:

Hope that helps,
