ElasticSearch nested [AND OR] filter

Question

I have a query that I'm struggling with in ElasticSearch. In fact, I have two queries, the first works, but the second doesn't.

Here's the basics 1st query, which is fine (the query is actually quite a bit bigger than this, I've stripped it down for ease of understanding):

{
    "query": {
        "filtered": {
            "query": {
                "match_all":{}
            },
            "filter": {
                "and": [{
                    "term":{
                        "relatedID":"214"
                    }
                },
                {
                    "term":{
                        "relatedType":"deal"
                    }
                }]
            }
        }
    }
}

So basically, grab all items where relatedID == 214 && relatedType == "deal"

However, what I'd also like to do, is this:

{
    "query": {
        "filtered": {
            "query": {
                "match_all":{}
            },
            "filter": {
                "and": [{
                    {
                        "or":[{
                                "and":[{
                                    "relatedID":"528"
                                },
                                {
                                    "relatedType":"company"
                                 }]
                            },{
                                "and":[{
                                    "relatedID":"214"
                                 },
                                 {
                                    "relatedType":"deal"
                                  }
                                  ]}
                             ]}
                        ]}
                    }
                }                
            }
        }
    }
}

So basically, grab everything where either deal AND 214, or company AND 528.

This is where I seem to be getting stuck.

As I said, there's a lot more in the query (see full query below, which might help understand why I've tried to structure it above):

{
"query":{
    "filtered":{
        "query":{
            "match_all":{}
         },
         "filter":{
            "and":[
                {
                    "or":[
                        {
                            "term":{
                                "timeSensitive":false
                            }
                        }
                        ,
                        {
                            "range":{
                                "validTo":{

                                 "validFrom":{
                                    "lt":"20140513T153030Z"
                                 }
                            }
                        }
                        ]
                    }

                                    {
                                        "relatedType":"company"

Answer 1

Its syntax error.The problem is You didn't mentions term filter inside (and,or)filter.

try to use boolean filter and query its more faster than (and or) filter.

[AND OR] Filter

{
"query": {
  "filtered": {
     "query": {
        "match_all": {}
     },
     "filter": {
        "and": [
           {
              "or": [
                 {
                    "and": [
                       {
                          "term": {
                             "relatedID": "528"
                          }
                       },
                       {
                          "term": {
                             "relatedType": "company"
                          }
                       }
                    ]
                 },
                 {
                    "and": [
                       {
                          "term": {
                             "relatedID": "214"
                          }
                       },
                       {
                          "term": {
                             "relatedType": "deal"
                          }
                       }
                    ]
                 }
              ]
           }
        ]
     }
   }
   }
  }

Same Query i converted in to bool filter

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/try/_search" -d'
{
"query": {
"filtered": {
   "query": {
   "match_all": {}
   },
   "filter": {
       "bool": {
           "should": [
              {
                  "bool": {
                      "must": [
                         {
                             "term": {
                                "relatedID":"528"
                             }
                         },
                          {
                             "term": {
                                "relatedType":"company"
                             }
                         }
                      ]
                  }
              },
              {
                  "bool": {
                      "must": [
                         {
                             "term": {
                                "relatedID":"214"
                             }

                          {

                                "relatedType":"deal"
                             }
