How to do it...
In order to execute a terms query/filter, perform the following steps:
Execute a terms query from the command line:
curl -XPOST 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/test-index/test-type/_search?pretty=true' -d '{ "query": { "terms": { "uuid": ["33333", "32222"] } } }'
The result returned by ElasticSearch is the same as in the previous recipe.
