Hi,  
I'm using the below query to search and fetch the latest 1 record from ES

```auto
GET indexname/_search
{
   "query": {
    "dis_max": {
      "queries": [
        { "match": { "data.target.sampler.keyword": "CPU" }},
        { "match": { "data.row.Hostname.keyword": "HOSTNAME-21" }},
        { "match": { "data.name.keyword": "Average_cpu" }}
      ]
    }
  },
   "size": 1,
  "sort": [
    {
      "@timestamp": {
        "order": "desc"
      }
    }
  ]
}

```

but in result I'm getting different hostnames.. I expect the result to be only for the "data.row.Hostname.keyword" value

The dismal query matched one or more of the queries so there is no guarantee the middle one must match. How come you are not using a Boolean query on terms instead?

Hi,  
Thanks for the response..

I tried bool must but no luck..

```auto
GET indexname/_search
{
   "_source": ["data.row.Hostname", "data.row.PerUtili"],
   "query": {
    "bool": {
		"must": [
		    { "match": { "data.target.sampler": "aaCPU" }},
		    { "match": {"data.row.Hostname": "HOSTNAME-21"}},
		    { "match": {"data.row.CPU": "Average_cpu"}}
      
		]
    }
  }, "size": 1,
    "sort": [
    {
      "@timestamp": {
        "order": "desc"
      }
    }
  ]
}

```
