I was wondering why one query works and other doesnt. The top one gives me a parse error.
does not work:
```
{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query": "*",
"analyze_wildcard": true
}
},
"filter": {
"bool": {
"must": {
"0": {
"range": {
"@timestamp": {
"gte": "now-30d/d",
"lte": "now",
"format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
Works:
```
{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query": "*",
"analyze_wildcard": true
}
},
"filter": {
"bool": {
"must": [{
"range": {
"@timestamp": {
"gte": "now-30d/d",
"lte": "now",
"format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
}
}
}]
}
}
}
}
}
```

Clay,
The first query is malformed.
What does the parse error say?

```
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "query_parsing_exception",
"reason": "No query registered for [0]",
"index": "channelhangup2-2016.03.10",
"line": 13,
"col": 19
}
}
}
```
A bunch of times for each index over the range. Shouldn't ES just strip out the "0" ?

Clay,
No. That's not a valid construction of a must clause. You should use the one that works.
