Is there any way to search for 2 key words in a single query.

Eg:

[  
{  
id:1  
name:Jim,  
description:cool guy,  
employer:Delta Dental,  
address: Okemos  
},  
{  
id:2,  
name:Jim,  
description: grumpy guy,  
employer: FedEx,  
address:Memphis  
},  
{  
id:3,  
name:Jim,  
description: funny guy,  
employer: Delta Dental,  
address: Okemos  
},  
id:4,  
name:Jim,  
description: funny guy,  
employer: Delta Dental,  
address: Minnesota  
}  
]

I wanna search for user Jim, who is a cool guy, who works for DeltaDental and lives in Okemos??

I am thinking the query should be

Query:"Jim"  
"filters": {  
"all": [  
{  
description:"cool guy"  
},  
{  
employer: Delta Dental  
},  
{  
address: Okemos  
}  
]  
}

Is the above query correct?? or is there any other efficient way ?

sometimes the query could be search for user who is a cool guy, who works for DeltaDental and lives in Okemos?? In this case there is not user name specified. so what do I do now?

Is there a way for the below query??

Query:"Jim","cool guy"  
"filters": {  
"all": [  
{  
employer: Delta Dental  
},  
{  
address: Okemos  
}  
]  
}

Hi, I believe you can use the "AND" keyword in searches. For example: [https://search-ui-stable.netlify.com/?q=Florida%20AND%20everglades&size=n\_20\_n](https://search-ui-stable.netlify.com/?q=Florida%20AND%20everglades&size=n_20_n)

> You may also apply the following Lucene Query Syntax functions: double quoted strings, + and -, AND, OR, and NOT.
