`should` clauses are just optional extras when paired with `must` clauses. They add to the score.

If you need true OR logic you need `bool` query with only a `should` section. Your query in pseudocode would be:

```
 bool
     should 
            type : faq
            type : normativeDoc
            bool
                   must
                        type : Document
                        profile_id_document : X
```
