Hi,
Anyone plz share a sample search query in json where one parent have
multiple childs & in single query it can search across both childs?
I can fetch each child's parent information using "has\_child". But not able
to find how to use "has\_child" at a time for two different childs in a
single query.
Thanks & Regards,
Jonbon Dash

Hey,
could you maybe explain where the problem is or which queries you already
tried so far? A possible solution might be to write a has has\_child query,
that contains boolean query, which contains to two must clauses, like this:
has\_child : { bool : { must : [term : {}, query\_string : {}] } }
does this make sense? Did this fail? Note, that term and query string are
just examples...
