Or Filter

edit

A filter that matches documents using the OR boolean operator on other filters. Can be placed within queries that accept a filter.

{
    "filtered" : {
        "query" : {
            "term" : { "name.first" : "shay" }
        },
        "filter" : {
            "or" : [
                {
                    "term" : { "name.second" : "banon" }
                },
                {
                    "term" : { "name.nick" : "kimchy" }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Caching

edit

The result of the filter is not cached by default. The _cache can be set to true in order to cache it (though usually not needed). Since the _cache element requires to be set on the or filter itself, the structure then changes a bit to have the filters provided within a filters element:

{
    "filtered" : {
        "query" : {
            "term" : { "name.first" : "shay" }
        },
        "filter" : {
            "or" : {
                "filters" : [
                    {
                        "term" : { "name.second" : "banon" }
                    },
                    {
                        "term" : { "name.nick" : "kimchy" }
                    }
                ],
                "_cache" : true
            }
        }
    }
}
