Nested search does not find any result

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

I have a document with some nested elements in it like

{
  ...
  elements: [
    {"content" : "car"},
    {"content" : "bicycle"}
  ]
  ...
}

If I search for a term a document is found if one of the elements contains the term.

A special case arises when I search for "car AND bicycle". Then the text shall be found because element1 contains car and element2 contains bicycle.

I do not use the Query String Query but parse the query on my own and generate a nested query with must like

{
  "nested": {
    "path" : "elements",
    "query" : {
      "bool" : {
        "must" : [
          { "match" : {"elements.content" : "car"}},
          { "match" : {"elements.content" : "bicycle"}},
        ]
     }
   }
}

In this case the document is not found. But why?

Does the nested query work like a loop? So, the match queries will be evaluated on the elements one by one and therefore does not find the document. Is this correct?

Greetings,
Martin
