Hi,  
I am trying to make a search on multitype idexe.  
-my index is "dashboard" wich contains 2 types :

```
     -"logs" that contains the data coming from logstash
     -"productPrices" that contains the data coming from Mysql database (documents contain "code", "p_price") 

```

So, i am trying to to make an aggregation on field "code" in the log type and a sub aggregation on the field "p\_price" wich is under the type "productPrices"

here the example :

localhost:9200/dashboard/\_search  
{  
"size":0,  
"aggs": {  
"products": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "code",  
},  
"aggs": {  
"prices": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "p\_price",  
"size": 3  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

i get an empty result for the prices aggregation

Thank you,

---

This won't work because your first bucket based on the code won't have any documents with the price field.

is there a way to get the documents code from the first type and search their price in the second type?

No because that is like a join, which ES cannot do.
