Multi-field query syntax

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm struggling with ES syntax right now. Is there a way to match
e.g. term A against field A and term B against field B in a simple
boolean query?

The gist below "works" as in "returns the appropriate entries" using
sense as the client (despite sense complaining about the duplicate
"must") - but it doesn't feel right and it's not DRY.

What's the proper way to do this?

TIA!

Hey,

good if it works! In order to improve slightly you could make the must
field an array which contains your queries.

Uh, yeah, that's what I'd like to do -- but what does that look like?
I thought I understood JSON format but NOTHING I can come up
with results in anything but errors like

QueryParsingException[[resources] [match] query malformed, no field]

A working example would be extremely helpful (and a good thing to
add to the docs, I'd think).

I'm using ES 0.90.0, BTW, in case this is a known problem.

or an other gui like

With Chrome, FireFox,.. you can take a look at the generated JSON.

Hope this helps

Thank you, yes -- seeing some generated queries shed light on
my issue (which wasn't actually json-format-related), though now
I apparently need to go back to the docs for a little more study :slight_smile:

Thanks again,
