+===== Multi-level nested queries
+
+To see how multi-level nested queries work,
+first you need an index that has nested fields.
+The following request defines mappings for the `drivers` index
+with nested `make` and `model` fields.
+
+[source,console]
+----
+PUT /drivers
+{
+    "mappings" : {
+        "properties" : {
+            "driver" : {
+                "type" : "nested",
+                "properties" : {
+                    "last_name" : {
+                        "type" : "text"
+                    },
+                    "vehicle" : {
+                        "type" : "nested",
+                        "properties" : {
+                            "make" : {
+                                "type" : "text"
+                            },
+                            "model" : {
+                                "type" : "text"
+                            }
+                        }
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}

+
+Next, index some documents to the `drivers` index.
+
+[source,console]

+            {
+                "make" : "Miller-Meteor",
+                "model" : "Ecto-1"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+}
+
+PUT /drivers/_doc/2?refresh
+{
+  "driver" : {
+        "last_name" : "Hudson",
+        "vehicle" : [
+            {
