Elasticsearch should operator on multiple fields - elasticsearch

Question

Currently, I am trying to query the elasticsearch with should clause on multiple fields along with must clause in one field.
with SQL I would write this query:
SELECT * FROM test where ( titleName='Business' OR titleName='Bear') AND (status='Draft' OR status='Void') AND creator='bob'
I tried this:
$params = [
'index' => myindex,
'type' => mytype,
'body' => [
"from" => 0,
"size" => 1000,
'query' => [
'bool' => [
'must' => [
'bool' => [
'should' => [
['match' => ['titleName' => 'Business']],
['match' => ['titleName' => 'Bear']]
]
],
'should' => [
['match' => ['status' => 'Draft']],
['match' => ['status' => 'Void']]
]
'must' => [
['match'] => ['creator' => 'bob']
]
]
]
]
]
];
The above query string working with single status field or single title field. But it's not working with both the fields.
Does anyone have a solution?

Answer 1

You need to AND both of your bool/should pairs. This should work:
$params = [
'index' => myindex,
'type' => mytype,
'body' => [
"from" => 0,
"size" => 1000,
'query' => [
'bool' => [
'must' => [
[
'bool' => [
'should' => [
['match' => ['titleName' => 'Business']],
['match' => ['titleName' => 'Bear']]
]
]
],
[
'bool' => [
'should' => [
['match' => ['status' => 'Draft']],
['match' => ['status' => 'Draft']]
]
]
],
[
'match' => ['creator' => 'bob']
]
]
]
]
]
];

You can write your query something like this. Add a Must inside that you add Should
{
"query": {
"filter": {
"bool": {
"must": [{
"bool": {
"should": [{
"term": {
"titleName": "business"
}
},
{
"term": {
"titleName": "bear"
}
}
]
}
},
{
"bool": {
"should": [{
"term": {
"status": "draft"
}
},
{
"term": {
"status": "void"
}
}
]
}
},
{
"bool": {
"must": [{
"term": {
"creator": "bob"
}
}]
}
}
]
}
}
},
"from": 0,
"size": 25
}
