Hey!

Well, I'm a new Elastic Search user and I'd like to know how to query on multiple fields at a document inside Elastic with just on text input.

Consider these documents:

```
{
   "description": "Some pretty nice description",
   "color": "white",
   "category": "electronic"
},
{
   "description": "Some strange description",
   "color": "black",
   "category": "electronic"
},

```

If I type `some white electronic` it should return the first one. If I type `black electronic` it should return the second one.

What I've seen so far at docs is that is possible to filter by each field but how to search over all of them?

Thanks!

You probably want to use `copy_to` to create a single field that can be searched across, check out [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/copy-to.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/copy-to.html)
