Dear sir,

If I want to search from the index from multiple keywords then which one is appropriate and we can get a better result.  
GET subject\_index/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"match": {  
"name": "c"  
}  
},  
{  
"match": {  
"description": "c"  
}  
},  
{  
"match": {  
"shortName": "c"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

OR

GET subject\_index/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"fields": ["name","description", "shortName"],  
"query": "c"  
}  
}  
}

OR

GET subject\_index/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"multi\_match": {  
"query": "c",  
"fields": ["name","description","shortName"]  
}  
}  
}
