Update multiple docs based on a query

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hey all,

Is it possible to update documents based on a query, simialar to mongodb update query.
I mean, smt like:
{
query: {
bool: {
must: [
{
term: {
text: "apple"
}
}
]
}
},
update:{
set: {
tag : "fruit"
}
}
}
I can query first, than update each doc with its id, but it takes too long. There should be a better solution.

Thanks.
