Combining must_not in ElasticSearch Query

Question

I'm currently struggling with an ElastSearch query which currently looks the following:

...
"query": {
    "bool": {
        "must_not": [
            {
                "term": {
                    "bool-facet.criteria1": {
                        "value": false
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                "term": {
                    "bool-facet.criteria2": {
                        "value": false
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}
...

So now when either criteria1 OR criteria2 matches, the documents are ignored. How must the query look like so that only documents that match criteria1 AND criteria2 are ignored?

Answer 1

If you want simple AND-behavior, then just nest another bool query inside of it:

"query": {
  "bool": {
    "must_not": [
      {
        "bool": {
          "filter": [
            {
              "term": {
                "bool-facet.criteria1": false
              }
            },
            {
              "term": {
                "bool-facet.criteria2": false
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Note that by using the filter (as it's a yes/no question with no scoring needed, but if you wanted scoring, then you would use must instead of filter) you get the desired AND behavior. This changes the question to "not(any document that has criteria1 == false AND criteria2 == false)".

The following arrangement worked for me on a similar query in 5.5.1:

"query": {
    "bool": {
        "must": [
            {
                "bool":{
                    "must_not":{
                        "term":{
                            "bool-facet.criteria1": false
                        }
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                "bool":{
                    "must_not":{
                        "term":{
                            "bool-facet.criteria2": true
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }
} 

The other answers may have been correct for other versions, but did not work for me in 5.5.1.

Since updating elasticsearch version was not possible I had to find another solution. This is what worked for me:

"query": {
    "bool": {
        "must_not" : [
            {
                "query": {
                    "bool": {
                        "must": [
                            {
                               "term": {
                                 "bool-facet.criteria1": false
                               }
                            },
                            {
                               "term": {
                                 "bool-facet.criteria2": false
                               }
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}
