I have the following mapping

```auto
"schema": {
          "type": "nested",
          "properties": {
            "description": {
              "type": "text",
              "fields": {
                "keyword": {
                  "type": "keyword",
                  "ignore_above": 256
                }
              }
            },
            "name": {
              "type": "text",
              "fields": {
                "keyword": {
                  "type": "keyword",
                  "ignore_above": 256
                }
              }
            }

```

I want to search the terms inside the schema, How to write the querystring for this?  
I tried the below query string and its returning null  
`http://localhost:9200/test/_search?q=schema.name:*abc*`. But there is a match inside the data. Please let me know how to write querystring to search inside nested objects.
