I found it [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/best-way-to-query-nested-objects-in-indexes-where-they-dont-exist/157923/2)

When searching for multiple indexes. It needs to be added to the nested `ignore_unmapped: true`

```auto
nested: {
	path: "nest",
	ignore_unmapped: true,
	query: {
		bool: {
			must: [
				//....
			]
		}
	}
}

```
