Searching by nested fields

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a trouble searching by nested field.

For example my document is:

{
"chat": [
{
"messages": [
{
"id": "61",
"text": "some text here"
},
{
"id": "62",
"text": "some62 text62 here62"
},
{
"id": "63",
"text": "some63 text63 here63"
},
{
"id": "64",
"text": "some64 text64 here64"
}
]
}
]
}

I'm searching through messages.text. If I search

"text": "some"

{
"query" : {
"nested": {
"path": "messages",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [{
"match": {
"text": "some"
}
}]
}
}
}
}
}

I want output something like

{
"chat": [
{
"messages": [
{
"id": "61",
"text": "some text here"
}
]
}
]
}

and not the whole document. I suppose I should use nested property, so
messages in chat is mapped as "nested". Please anyone help me.

That feature is currently not supported by Elasticsearch. You would need to
change to parent/child documents in order to get back only the relevant
documents.
