== Compound queries

Compound queries wrap other compound or leaf queries, either to combine their
results and scores, to change their behaviour, or to switch from query to
filter context.

The queries in this group are:

<<query-dsl-constant-score-query,`constant_score` query>>::

A query which wraps another query, but executes it in filter context.  All
matching documents are given the same ``constant'' `_score`.

<<query-dsl-bool-query,`bool` query>>::

The default query for combining multiple leaf or compound query clauses, as
`must`, `should`, `must_not`, or `filter` clauses.  The `must` and `should`
clauses have their scores combined -- the more matching clauses, the better --
while the `must_not` and `filter` clauses are executed in filter context.

<<query-dsl-dis-max-query,`dis_max` query>>::

A query which accepts multiple queries, and returns any documents which match
any of the query clauses.  While the `bool` query combines the scores from all
matching queries, the `dis_max` query uses the score of the single best-
matching query clause.

<<query-dsl-function-score-query,`function_score` query>>::

Modify the scores returned by the main query with functions to take into
account factors like popularity, recency, distance, or custom algorithms
implemented with scripting.

<<query-dsl-boosting-query,`boosting` query>>::

Return documents which match a `positive` query, but reduce the score of
documents which also match a `negative` query.

<<query-dsl-indices-query,`indices` query>>::

Execute one query for the specified indices, and another for other indices.

<<query-dsl-and-query,`and`>>, <<query-dsl-or-query,`or`>>, <<query-dsl-not-query,`not`>>::

Synonyms for the `bool` query.

<<query-dsl-filtered-query,`filtered` query>>::

Combine a query clause in query context with another in filter context. deprecated[2.0.0-beta1,Use the `bool` query instead]

<<query-dsl-limit-query,`limit` query>>::

Limits the number of documents examined per shard.
