- I'm trying to improve my search query to effectively work with stop words.  
Here is the nested query I'm trying to work with, but this results in not so proper search results.

I need help with

1. Is this query valid , nesting common inside bool.

2. If common has to be used seperately how to match 'must' with multiple fields

* * *

## { "query" : { "bool" : { "must" : [{ "bool" : { "should" : [ { "common" : { "title" : { "query" : "nandini", "disable\_coord" : true, "high\_freq\_operator" : "OR", "low\_freq\_operator" : "OR", "cutoff\_frequency" : 0.01, "boost" : 1.0 } } }, { "common" : { "personsFullNames" : { "query" : "nandini", "disable\_coord" : true, "high\_freq\_operator" : "OR", "low\_freq\_operator" : "OR", "cutoff\_frequency" : 0.01, "boost" : 1.0 } } }], "disable\_coord" : false, "adjust\_pure\_negative" : true, "boost" : 1.0 } }, { "terms" : { "language" : ["telugu"], "boost" : 1.0 } } ], "filter" : [{ "range" : { "expirationDate" : { "from" : 1529935802013, "to" : null, "include\_lower" : true, "include\_upper" : true, "boost" : 1.0 } } }], "disable\_coord" : false, "adjust\_pure\_negative" : true, "boost" : 1.0 } } }

Hi Team,

Please let me know if I'm missing more detail.

Thank you,
