I have attribute\_set\_id indexed at two different places in each id. I  
want to search and get results from both the places(actually I want  
from the second one). What is happening now, is that the following  
query searches only for the first instance of "attribute\_set\_id" and  
when does not find the match, returns zero.  
{"query":{terms:{attribute\_set\_id:["Bags"]}}}'
