Elasticsearch combine two different query types in one request

Question

I'm wondering if there is a possibility to combine two query types, in my case I need a match and wildcard query, each has to operate on a different field.

The thing is, a document matches if the entity name (the document is the representation of the entity) matches the name with a wildcard at the end of the search term OR it matches if it is a exact match on one of the synonyms of the entity. Not both querys have to match, just one of them to consider the document as relevant.

Currently I need two requests to archive this:

Wildcard:

GET /name/type/_search
{
   "query": {
      "wildcard": {
         "name": {
            "value": "term*",
            "boost": 2
         }
      }
   }
}

Match:

GET /name/type/_search
{
   "query": {
      "match": {
         "synonyms": "term"
      }
   }
}

Is there a way to do it with one request? All my tests failed.

With the bool query both queries have to match, in my case one of them have to match in order to consider the document as valid hit. I updated the question to point this out. Thx. — maddin2code

This is the one your are looking for..!

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/try/_search" -d'
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "name": {
              "value": "term*",
              "boost": 2
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "synonyms": "term"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}'
