Bool Query

A query that matches documents matching boolean combinations of other queries. The bool query maps to Lucene BooleanQuery. It is built using one or more boolean clauses, each clause with a typed occurrence. The occurrence types are:

Occur	Description
must	The clause (query) must appear in matching documents.
should	The clause (query) should appear in the matching document. A boolean query with no must clauses, one or more should clauses must match a document. The minimum number of should clauses to match can be set using minimum_number_should_match parameter.
must_not	The clause (query) must not appear in the matching documents. Note that it is not possible to search on documents that only consists of a must_not clauses.

The bool query also supports disable_coord parameter (defaults to false).
