Hello,

i'm getting the this error:

```auto
ApiError(500, 'search_phase_execution_exception', 'too_many_clauses: maxClauseCount is set to 1337')

```

The query that is use is:

```auto
{
	"bool": {
		"filter": [
			{
				"term": {
					"filter1": value1
				}
			},
			{
				"term": {
					"filter2": value2
				}
			}
		],
		"should": [
			{
				"match": {
					"text": {
						"fuzziness": 2,
						"query": my_query 
					}
				}
			}
		]
	}
}

```

my\_query is ~100 words, and the index that is searched has ~80k documents.  
The Elastic version is 8.4.1

Any advice on what to do in this scenario?

Thanks in advance
