This is how you can nest multiple bool queries in one outer bool query this using Kibana,

• bool indicates we are using boolean
• must is for AND
• should is for OR

GET my_inedx/my_type/_search
{
  "query" : {
     "bool": {             //bool indicates we are using boolean operator
          "must" : [       //must is for **AND**
               {
                 "match" : {
                       "description" : "some text"  
                   }
               },
               {
                  "match" :{
                        "type" : "some Type"
                   }
               },
               {
                  "bool" : {          //here its a nested boolean query
                        "should" : [  //should is for **OR**
                               {
                                 "match" : {
                                     //ur query
                                }
                               },
                               { 
                                  "match" : {} 
                               }     
                             ]
                        }
               }
           ]
      }
  }
}

This is how you can nest a query in ES

There are more types in "bool" like,

1. Filter
2. must_not
