Hello, is there a way to get a Term Query and a nested query to work in the same query? As in match the parent doc to this and child doc to something else. I tried this but its only matching the child query:

```
.Query(f => f
                    .Bool(b1 => b1
                        .Must(m1 => m1
                            .Terms(t => t
                                .Field(p => p.Username)
                                .Terms(userlist)
                            ))
                        .Must(m2 => m2
                            .Nested(n => n
                                .Path("notes")
                                .Query(q2 => q2

                                    .Terms(t => t
                                        .Field(pp => pp.Notes.First().Username)
                                        .Terms(userlist)

                                    )))
                        )
                    )
                )

```

The query comes back but its only matching the child docs to my userlist not the parent. I would like to get back all master documents where the user is on the parent doc and in the child docs. Thanks
