Hi @mje,

I guess the proper syntax would be `"must" : [{...1st...}, {...2nd....}]`, see [2 'musts' in 1 bool illegal?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/2-musts-in-1-bool-illegal/103846/2?u=azasypkin) and [Elasticsearch bool query formation with multiple must clause](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-bool-query-formation-with-multiple-must-clause/97509/2).

Best,  
Oleg
