Hi: I have a document that is mapped with certain fields being nested fields. I have use cases where I get a request which when translated becomes a mix of nested and query\_string queries. (or nested, term and query\_string queries). Is there a way to mix the queries ? I am aware that a term query or a query\_string can have a filter which is a nested query or vice-versa. This begs the question : Conceptually , Is a a query like so : Term:value AND query\_string the same as executing a Term:value query with a filter of query\_string ? Similarly for nested queries ?

One way to mix queries is to use bool query[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-bool-query.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-bool-query.html) .
