How to "must" : [ { "match" { "foo" : "bar"} } ]

[mvincent]

I'm trying to model this request:
(similar to http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/nested-query/)

curl -XPOST "localhost:9200/index/type/_search?pretty=true" -d '{
"query" : {
  "filtered" : {
      "query" : { "match_all" : {} },
      "filter" : {
          "nested" : {
              "path" : "classification",
              "query" : {
                  "bool" : {
                      "must" : [
                          {
                              "match" : {"classificiation.category" : "foo"}
                          }
                      ]
                  }
              },
              "_cache" : true
          }
      }
  }
  }
}'

but am not sure how to create the "match" in the center. It seems only MatchAll() is available. Here's what I have so far:

var resultNest = client.Search<Type>(s => s
    .Index("index")         
    .Type("type")          
    .Query(q1 => q1
        .Filtered(cs => cs
            .Query(q2 => q2.MatchAll())
            .Filter(f => f
                .Nested(n => n
                    .Path(p => p
                        .Classification)
                    .Query(q3 => q3
                        .Bool(b => b
                            .Must(m => m
                                .MatchAll())   // <-- what I really want: "match" : {"classificiation.category" : "foo"}
                            )
                        )
                    )
                )
            )
        )
   );

Do you have any recommendations?

elasticsearch renamed the text family query to match see the release notes at:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/2012/08/23/0-19-9-released/

The text queries are mapped:

http://nest.azurewebsites.net/query/text.html

and are now backwards aliases for the match queries. I'll add the Match queries to explicitly issue a match query instead of text queries.

Also multi_match support:

elastic/elasticsearch#2153

Leaving this open untill these made it into master.

This is not documented well at all.
Had to resort to writing my own unit tests and checking the output to figure out how to get the right query out of it.

var serializer = new NestSerializer(new ConnectionSettings());
var json = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(serializer.Serialize(query));
Console.WriteLine(json);
