Hi @Samer_Abdelwahed Welcome to the community. It is not exactly clear what your question is You have not provided enough information to help In order for us to help you need to show actual samples of your mappings, sample documents in json, and the aggregations/query you are running, what the result is and what you expect the result to be. Please do not post screenshots. Also have you read the documents on > **[Nested field type | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.7\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/nested.html#nested)** ---

I think that there is an option that blocks the document from appearing within the resulted documents I don't know what this option is all the time i found that the document that is blocked is the most compatible with the search criteria ---
