Hi guys,

I'm trying to convert the following expression to a elasticseach query.

Field 1 != X or Field 2 != Y

Can you help me translate this to elasticsearch?

Thank you very much

{"field1": "X","field2": "B"}
{"index": {"_id": "5"}}
{"field1": "A","field2": "B"}

GET test/doc/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must_not": [
        {
          "bool": {
            "must": [

                }
              },
              {
