I am trying to get partial search on a property of my entity working by using the nGram and edgeNGram working, however I am always getting 0 results all the time. Why is this? Here's my full code, mappings, and sample data[https://gist.github.com/aherlambang/027dd7316a999cb9a1ff](https://gist.github.com/aherlambang/027dd7316a999cb9a1ff)that I am trying to search on. Essentially I wanted to search for 'moonl' and it should match the username, because the username is moonlyshop and should return the Shop, however I am getting 0 results. What am I doing wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I guess it's because you search in \_all field (default when you use q=moonl). You should try q=shop\_name:moonl or use a MatchQuery with the query DSL.

So I tried using multi match query by specifying the following: { "multi\_match" : { "query" : "some query", "fields" : ["username", "fullname", "caption"] } } however it seems now the search is not searching the caption (while in fact caption is the single most important one). Why is this? I believe this is because the caption is a nested property inside the shop. So how do I specify the nested property to be searched in a multi match?

Let me explain my scenario. I have a Shop, the shop has a username and also a full name. The Shop has a nested property which is shopPictures, and each shopPictures has a caption associated with it. So this shopPictures is nested. I wanted to do a search on the caption's first and then the username and full name as the priority. When I do the multi query it doesn't search the caption of the shopPictures. How do I do so?

Ok. Try BoolQuery with should clauses. For the nested field, use the NestedQuery with a MatchQuery. For the other fields, use the MultiMatch Query ## Does it help?
