Hi everyone.

I'm trying to make a search template with bool query. This bool query uses 'should' operator, which searches data throgh 4 fields of index. These results than must be filtered by two fields, so I try to use 'must' operator outside the 'should' operator. As a result, I have docs that suites both conditions of 'should' and 'must', but after a sum of these conditions I have other docs which suites only the 'must' operator conditions. I use the following script:

```auto
PUT _scripts/search_template
{
"script": {
"lang": "mustache",
"source": {
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{"match": {"field_1": "true"}},
{"match": {"field_2": "true"}}
],
"should": [
{
"match": {
"field_3": {
"query": "{{query_string}}",
"fuzziness": "1",
"boost": 1
}
}
},
{
"match": {
"field_4": {
"query": "{{query_string}}",
"fuzziness": "1",
"boost": 2
}
}
},
{
"match": {
"field_5": {
"query": "{{query_string}}",
"fuzziness": "1",
"boost": 3
}
}
},
{
"match": {
"field_6": {
"query": "{{query_string}}",
"fuzziness": "1",
"boost": 1
}
}
}
]
}
},
"from": "{{from}}{{^from}}0{{/from}}",
"size": "{{size}}{{^size}}10{{/size}}"
},
"params": {
"query_string": "Query string"
}
}
}

```
