elasticsearch bool query combine must with OR

Question

I am currently trying to migrate a solr-based application to elasticsearch.

I have this lucene query

(( 
    name:(+foo +bar) 
    OR info:(+foo +bar) 
)) AND state:(1) AND (has_image:(0) OR has_image:(1)^100)

As far as I understand this is a combination of MUST clauses combined with boolean OR:

"Get all documents containing (foo AND bar in name) OR (foo AND bar in info). After that filter results by condition state=1 and boost documents that have an image."

I have been trying to use a bool query with MUST but I am failing to get boolean OR into must clauses. Here is what I have:

GET /test/object/_search
{
  "from": 0,
  "size": 20,
  "sort": {
    "_score": "desc"
  },
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "match": {
            "name": "foo"
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "name": "bar"
          }
        }
      ],
      "must_not": [],
      "should": [
        {
          "match": {
            "has_image": {
              "query": 1,
              "boost": 100
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

As you can see, MUST conditions for "info" are missing.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you so much.

** UPDATE **

I have updated my elasticsearch query and got rid of that function score. My base problem still exists.

Answer 1

• OR is spelled should
• AND is spelled must
• NOR is spelled should_not

Example:

You want to see all the items that are (round AND (red OR blue)):

{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": [
                {
                    "term": {"shape": "round"}
                },
                {
                    "bool": {
                        "should": [
                            {"term": {"color": "red"}},
                            {"term": {"color": "blue"}}
                        ]
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

You can also do more complex versions of OR, for example if you want to match at least 3 out of 5, you can specify 5 options under "should" and set a "minimum_should" of 3.

Thanks to Glen Thompson and Sebastialonso for finding where my nesting wasn't quite right before.

Thanks also to Fatmajk for pointing out that "term" becomes "match" in ElasticSearch 6.
