elasticsearchHow do I construct an Elasticsearch query using the bool query type?

The bool query type in Elasticsearch is a compound query that allows you to combine multiple queries together. The bool query type is used to combine must, should, filter, and must_not clauses.

For example, the following query will match documents that contain the term Elasticsearch in the title field and the term query in the body field.

GET /_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        { "match": { "title": "Elasticsearch" }},
        { "match": { "body": "query" }}
      ]
    }
  }
}

The query is composed of the following parts:

• GET /_search: This is the request path.
• query: This is the root query object.
• bool: This is the query type.
• must: This is an array of clauses that must match for the query to match.
• match: This is the query type used to match documents.
