Hello,  
I have two documents:

```auto
POST query_test/_doc
{
  "field": [
    {
      "field1": "Pam",
      "field2": "Beesly"
    },
    {
      "field1": "Jim",
      "field2": "Halpert"
    }
  ]
}

POST query_test/_doc
{
  "field": [
    {
      "field1": "Pam",
      "field2": "Halpert"
    },
    {
      "field1": "Jim",
      "field2": "Halpert"
    }
  ]
}

```

How to query that index, to return only second document with Pam Halpert?  
Below query returns both documents:

```auto
GET query_test/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "match": {
            "field.field1": "Pam"
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "field.field2": "Halpert"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

Have a look at [nested documents](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/nested.html).
