Hello,  
i am new into this Elasticsearch, but i try to learn how to extract data from the danish [virk.dk](http://virk.dk).  
They have this mapping: [http://distribution.virk.dk/cvr-permanent/\_mapping](http://distribution.virk.dk/cvr-permanent/_mapping)  
I have a login, which works just fine, i can do some queries.  
This works:

```
{
"_source": "Vrvirksomhed.virksomhedMetadata.nyesteNavn.navn",
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "cvrNummer": 13612870
    }
  }
}

```

It returns data like:

```
"_source": {
  "Vrvirksomhed": {
    "virksomhedMetadata": {
      "nyesteNavn": {
        "navn": "MICROSOFT DANMARK ApS"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Then i would expect that i could do a _reversed_ query like this:

```
{
"_source": "Vrvirksomhed.cvrNummer",
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "Vrvirksomhed.virksomhedMetadata.nyesteNavn.navn": "MICROSOFT DANMARK ApS"
    }
  }
}

```

But this gives me this result:

```
"hits": {
  "total": 0,
  "max_score": null,
  "hits": []
}

```

What am i missing / doing wrong here ?
