Boolean query

A query that matches documents matching boolean combinations of other queries. It is built using one or more boolean clauses. The four clauses are:

Clause	Description
`must`	The clause (query) must appear in matching documents and will contribute to the score.
`filter`	The clause (query) must appear in matching documents. However unlike must the score of the query will be ignored.
`should`	The clause (query) should appear in the matching document.
`must_not`	The clause (query) must not appear in the matching documents.

Example

  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": {
        "match": {
            "title": "baseball"
        }
      },
      "filter": {
        "term": {
          "tenant_id.keyword": "someid"
        }
      }
    }
