I can't find docs where I can specify multiple matches...theres 2 fields I want to match...transactiontype and fullAddress. transactionType is an exact match and fullAddress could have the postcode anywhere in the address

{  
"from": 0,  
"size": 10,  
"match": {  
"transactionType": "LEASE"  
},  
"match\_phrase\_prefix": {  
"fullAddress": "BS22"  
},  
"sort": [{  
"transactionDate": {  
"order": "desc"  
}  
}]  
}

The matches work seperately but not together...I know there are plenty of matches but it comes up as an error

Hi,

try combining the two match queries as two clauses inside a [Bool Query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-bool-query.html). It looks like you don't need scoring, so putting them inside the "filter" should work.
