Elasticsearch: How to use two different multiple matching fields?

Question

I want to do something much like the \'and\' filter example except with terms with a \'should\' in each one, instead of the field types in the example. I came up with the follow

I think you don't need to specify bool filter. If I understand right what you are trying to accomplish, terms filter with and filter should be enough. So something like this:

# Delete index
#
curl -s -X DELETE 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test' ; echo

# Create index
#
curl -s -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/' -d '{
  "mappings": {
    "document": {
      "properties": {
        "color": {
          "type": "string",
          "index": "not_analyzed"
        },
        "fruit": {
          "type": "string",
          "index": "not_analyzed"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}' ; echo

# Index some documents
#
curl -s -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/document/1?pretty=true' -d '{
  "fruit" : "apple",
  "color" : "red"
}' ; echo

curl -s -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/document/2?pretty=true' -d '{
  "fruit" : "apple",
  "color" : "yellow"
}' ; echo

curl -s -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/document/3?pretty=true' -d '{
  "fruit" : "apple",
  "color" : "green"
}' ; echo

curl -s -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/document/4?pretty=true' -d '{
  "fruit" : "banana",
  "color" : "green"
}' ; echo

curl -s -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/document/5?pretty=true' -d '{
  "fruit" : "banana",
  "color" : "yellow"
}' ; echo

curl -s -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/document/6?pretty=true' -d '{
  "fruit" : "pear",
  "color" : "green"
}' ; echo

curl -s -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/document/7?pretty=true' -d '{
  "fruit" : "pear",
  "color" : "yellow"
}' ; echo

curl -s -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/document/7?pretty=true' -d '{
  "fruit" : "pear",
  "color" : "red"
}' ; echo


# Refresh index
#
curl -s -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/_refresh'; echo


# This query should return only red apples and pears
#
curl -s -X POST 'http://localhost:9200/bool-filter-test/_search?pretty' -d '{
  "query" : {
    "match_all" : { }
  },
  "filter" : {
    "and" : [
      {
        "terms" : { "fruit" : ["apple", "pear"] }
      },
      {
        "terms" : { "color" : ["red"] }
      }
    ]
  }
}'

You can even specify execution to bool (which according to documentation) Generates a term filter (which is cached) for each term, and wraps those in a bool filter. The bool filter itself is not cached as it can operate very quickly on the cached term filters.
