Hi All,

I'm starting to play with ES and I am having a problem figuring what 's wrong with my query below...  
Basically, my query returns no match but the aggregations is returning data. I tried moving the aggs around but I'm receiving an error message. What would be the proper way of fixing this?

{  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": {  
"term": {  
"description": "manager"  
}  
},  
"must\_not": {  
"term": {  
"description": "account"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"filter": {  
"term": {  
"country\_id": 16767  
}  
},  
"aggs": {  
"top\_employers": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "normalized\_employer\_id",  
"size": 10  
}  
}  
}  
}
