Hi, is there a way to receive just the matching nested object(s) from a document by a nested query resp. to identifiy the exact matching nested object which matched e.g. an "and" filter? e.g. if i query [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/nested-type.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/nested-type.html) obj1 and filterng for name "blue" and count 4 i need to know which nested object matched this filter instead of just getting the whole document. thx, tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
