Query with match by multiple fields

Question

I'm pretty new to elastic search and would like to write a query that is concerned about two fields. I mean the content of the fields contains the specified substring. I have a document containing fields, like this:

name: n tag: t 

I tried this:

/_search -d ' {     "query": {         "match": {              "name": "n",              "tag": "t"         }     } } 

But the query results in the following error:

[match] query parsed in simplified form, with direct field name, but included more options than just the field name, possibly use its 'options' form, with 'query' element?

Is there a way to do this in elasticsearch?

You need two match queries enclosed in a bool/must query, like this:

{   "query": {     "bool": {       "must": [         {           "match": {             "name": "n"           }         },         {           "match": {             "tag": "t"           }         }       ]     }   } }
