Elasticsearch DSL with multiple multi_match query in ruby - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have this scenario wherein there are two multi_match searches within the same query. The trouble is, when I create the JSON for it in ruby, a json with non-unique keys doesn't seem possible so only one of them appear.
Here is my query:
{
"fields": ["id", "title",
"address.city", "address.state", "address.country", "address.state_code", "address.country_code", "proxy_titles", "location"],
"size":2,
"query":{
"filtered":{
"filter": {
"range": {
"custom_score": {
"gte": 100
}
}
},
"query":{
"bool": {
"must": {
"multi_match":{
"query": "term 1",
"type": "cross_fields",
"fields": ["title^2", "proxy_titles^2","description"]
}
},
"must": {
"multi_match": {
"query": "us",
"fields": ["address.city", "address.country", "address.state",
"address.zone", "address.country_code", "address.state_code", "address.zone_code"]
}
}
}
}
}
},
"sort": {
"_score": { "order": "desc" },
"variation": {"order": "asc"},
"updated_at": { "order": "desc" }
}
}
I have also only recently started using elasticsearch so it be very helpful if you could suggest me a better query to accomplish the same as well.

You have the syntax wrong. For multiple "must" values in a "bool", they need to be in an array. The documentation is not always terribly helpful, unfortunately (the bool query page shows this for "should" but not "must").
Try this:
{
"fields": ["id","title","address.city","address.state","address.country","address.state_code","address.country_code","proxy_titles","location"],
"size": 2,
"query": {
"filtered": {
"filter": {
"range": {
"custom_score": {
"gte": 100
}
}
},
"query": {
"bool": [
{
"must": {
"multi_match": {
"query": "term 1",
"type": "cross_fields",
"fields": ["title^2","proxy_titles^2","description"]
}
}
},
{
"must": {
"multi_match": {
"query": "us",
"fields": ["address.city","address.country","address.state","address.zone","address.country_code","address.state_code","address.zone_code"]
}
}
}
]
}
}
},
"sort": {
"_score": {
"order": "desc"
},
"variation": {
"order": "asc"
},
"updated_at": {
"order": "desc"
}
}
}
