Hi ,

I have kind of below data in ES (version 6.2). I am trying to write a query with below condition

Addresses.Type="Home" and Addresses.Suspended \<\> "B" and Addresses.Suspended \<\> "Y". these three condition should be at same level.

'{  
"ID":"1",  
"Addresses":[  
{  
"FirstName": "Sam",  
"Suspended": "N"  
"Type": "Home"  
},  
{  
"FirstName": "Bill",  
"Suspended": "B"  
"Type": "Office"  
}  
]  
},  
{  
"ID":"2",  
"Addresses":[  
{  
"FirstName": "Maddie",  
"Suspended": "B"  
"Type": "Home"  
},  
{  
"FirstName": "John",  
"Suspended": "B"  
"Type": "Office"  
}  
]  
}'

I wrote below query. But the issue is , must and must\_not are working independently. I wanted first document as result. All Document which has type home and suspended \<\> "B" and suspended \<\> "Y".  
In First document, one section of address is matching above condition and should come as part of result. Right now nothing is coming. Because of must\_not filtering out both records.

'GET testindex/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"Addresses.Type": {  
"query": "Home"  
}

```
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "must_not": [
    {
      "bool": {
        "should": [
          {
            "bool": {
              "must": [
                {
                  "terms": {
                    "Addresses.Suspended": ["b","y"]
                  }
                }
              ]
            }
          }
          ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

```

}  
}'
