Unknown token error for elastic search query

I have created a document in my ES index. I need to run a search query.

This is my search payload.

{
"highlight": {
    "require_field_match": true,
    "pre_tags": [
        "<span class=\"searchKeyHighlight\">"
    ],
    "post_tags": [
        "</span>"
    ],
    "fields": {}
},
"query": {
    "query_string": {
        "multi_match": {
            "default_operator": "AND",
            "query": "xyz"
        }
    }
}
}

This is the error I get.

{
"error": {
    "root_cause": [
        {
            "type": "parsing_exception",
            "reason": "[query_string] unknown token [START_OBJECT] after [multi_match]",
            "line": 1,
            "col": 170
        }
    ],
    "type": "parsing_exception",
    "reason": "[query_string] unknown token [START_OBJECT] after [multi_match]",
    "line": 1,
    "col": 170
},
"status": 400
}

The col 170 is the colon after multi_match in the search query "multi_match":{"default_operator".

I am using elasticsearch version 5.0.0.

Version: 5.0.0, Build: 253032b/2016-10-26T04:37:51.531Z, JVM: 1.8.0_102

I don't understand what is wrong in the multi_match query.

Try below query. You can use either query_string or multi_match, both you can't use.

{
"highlight": {
    "require_field_match": true,
    "pre_tags": [
        "<span class=\"searchKeyHighlight\">"
    ],
    "post_tags": [
        "</span>"
    ],
    "fields": {}
},
"query": {
    "query_string": {
            "default_operator": "AND",
            "query": "xyz"
         }
     }
}
