Hello. Is there well-structured guide "howto search this or this"?  
When to use that type of full-text search or that (match, match\_query, term, query\_string, etc.)?  
For example, why I can find if array has one element by simple "match", but I can't use it for multiple matches:  
myarray = [1,2,3]  
{"match":{"myarray":1}} - works, but for mutiple search I need use term? And there are many other questions, but it should be described very well somewhere...
