I tried to fetch data via search query api through postman  
`/_search`

if I search through without filter

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "message": {
        "query": "matching_data"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

I'm getting data result in this query

but below query format and filter I'm not getting data

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "match": {
            "message": {
                "query": "matching_data"
             }
          }
        },
        {
          "range": {
            "startTime": {
              "from": "2020-01-01",
              "to": "2022-10-20"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

response

```auto
{
    "took": 17,
    "timed_out": false,
    "_shards": {
        "total": 381,
        "successful": 381,
        "skipped": 0,
        "failed": 0
    },
    "hits": {
        "total": {
            "value": 0,
            "relation": "eq"
        },
        "max_score": null,
        "hits": []
    }
}

Which version of Elasticsearch are you using?

What is the mapping for the fields used in the queries?

Can you provide an example document that you expect to find?

That is not the mapping. Use the [get mapping API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.2/indices-get-mapping.html) to get the index mappings.

Please show a sample JSON document you expect the query to find.

I do not see any field named `startTime` in your mappings, which means the documents in that index does not have that field and the range query will therefore not return anything.

Thanks, I have updated `startTime` with `timestamp`.  
Now I'am able to fetch the data. Help appreciated. 🎉
