## Hi Team, I need an example to search a value in a multi valued attribute. Example: Let's say I have below documents in an index.

```auto
[
   { "id":1, "lenders"=[32,76], "lender_yield"=1.0 },
   { "id":2, "lenders"=[1,9], "lender_yield"=1.1 },
   { "id":3, "lenders"="[76,100], "lender_yield"=3.0 },
   { "id":4, "lenders"=[4,32], "lender_yield"=2.8 }
]

```

- 

## If search value is 76 I should get documents with id 1 and 3. I want a JAVA Elasticsearch query written using co.elastic.clients.elasticsearch.\_types.query\_dsl.Query.

Could you please help me on this  
Thank you.

I'm able to do most of the queries, but I'm trying to figure out how to search for multiple values in a particular fields and return values containing any of the values provided. I would assume Terms Query is what I'm looking for. But how do I pass a String array/list into the TermsQuery in Java API Client. For example how do I write the below in Java: GET /\_search { "query": { "terms": { "referenceno": ["xxx", "yyy"] } } } F…
