Hi,  
I am using elastic search 5.2.1 , I am seeing inconsistent behaviour in named queries, for some queries i am getting matched queries in response, while in certain queries i am not getting matched queries, some times i am getting matched queries in few records, and for few i am not getting. All these have been performed on the same index.

The query for which I got no matched queries is as follows

{  
"query": {  
"nested": {  
"query" : {  
"multi\_match" : {  
"query" : "production engineer",  
"fields" : [  
"company^1.0",  
"keywordSet^5.0",  
"qualification^2.0",  
"rawJobColl.description^1.0",  
"rawJobColl.metadataStr^5.0",  
"rawJobColl.name^5.0"  
],  
"type" : "best\_fields",  
"operator" : "OR",  
"slop" : 0,  
"\_name" : "production engineer"  
}  
},  
"path" : "rawJobColl",  
"score\_mode" : "sum"  
}  
}  
}

However if i run this query

{  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"must" : [  
{  
"function\_score" : {  
"query" : {  
"nested" : {  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"should" : [  
{  
"multi\_match" : {  
"query" : "production engineer",  
"fields" : [  
"company^1.0",  
"keywordSet^5.0",  
"qualification^2.0",  
"rawJobColl.description^1.0",  
"rawJobColl.metadataStr^5.0",  
"rawJobColl.name^5.0"  
],  
"type" : "best\_fields",  
"\_name" : "production engineer"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"path" : "rawJobColl"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
],  
"filter" : [  
{  
"bool" : {  
"must" : [  
{  
"nested" : {  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"must" : [  
{  
"terms" : {  
"jobKeywords.keywordId" : [  
32  
],  
"boost" : 1.0  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"path" : "jobKeywords"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"\_source" : {  
"includes" : [  
"id",  
"name"  
],  
"excludes" : []  
}  
}

I get matched queries, both of these queries are being run on the same index and type.

Please let me know what is going on?
