Hiya It's a bit more verbose, but yes you can do queries like that easily. I've assumed that all of your fields are "exact value" not_analyzed string fields, rather than full text fields:
GET /_search { "_source": [ "col1", "col2" ], "query": { "filtered": { "filter": { "bool": { "must": [ { "bool": { "should": [ { "terms": { "col3": [ "some", "value" ]}}, { "missing": { "field": "col3" }} ] } }, { "bool": { "should": [ { "terms": { "col4": [ "another", "set", "values" ]}}, { "missing": { "field": "col4" }} ] } }, { "term": { "col5": "hello" }} ], "must_not": [ { "term": { "col6": "world" }} ] } } } }, "sort": "col7" } All of those lookups use filters, so would be cached, making all future executions very fast indeed.
