Hi,  
I have a nested document, the mapping setting for the same is as follows

"properties" : {  
"name" : {  
"type" : "text"  
},  
"description" : {  
"type" : "text"  
},  
"rawDataColl" : {  
"type" : "nested",  
"properties" : {  
"name" : {  
"type" : "text"  
},  
"description" : {  
"type" : "text"  
}  
}  
}  
}

I am trying to use percolate query for document of the above type. The percolate query has the following query  
{  
"searchTextQuery": {  
"match": {  
"[rawDataColl.name](http://rawDataColl.name)": {  
"query": "Beautician"  
}  
}  
}  
}

When i run the percolate query it returns me correct results if the query has match element on **_name_** attribute, however if query has match element on **_[rawDataColl.name](http://rawDataColl.name)_** then percolate query does not works.

Can any one please tell me, whether percolate query is not supported on nested documents or i am doing something wrong?

Thanks

If you have a nested mapping then your percolator query should also contain a `nested` query.
