Elasticsearch js query with must and must_not - node.js

Question

I am trying to get a query to run with both must and must_not, but have not had any luck with the syntax I am attempting. I see a lot of people on StackOverflow using quotes on both sides like they would be in a Curl call, but this is straight out of a node application.
I will show the query that does work, and I am simply trying to add what I do not want to be included in the outcome. In either case, because this is just trash data that is on a local dev environment, the outcome should match.
First the working query:
client.search({
index: config.ES_INDEX,
type: "issue",
body: {
query: {
match: {
issue_state: 'Closed'
}
},
size: 1000
}
}).then(function(resp){
console.log(util.inspect(resp, {showHidden: false, depth: null}));
}).catch(function(err){
console.log('Failed to search. ' + err.message);
});
Output:
{ took: 5,
timed_out: false,
_shards: { total: 5, successful: 5, failed: 0 },
hits:
{ total: 1,
max_score: 1,
hits:
[ { _index: 'noc_tool',
_type: 'issue',
_id: 'Sy2IQFMLe',
_score: 1,
_source:
{ job_name: 'Job Name 1',
is_maintenance: 'no',
servicenow_id: 'lkjjklh',
type: 'Chase',
start_time: '1970-01-01T23:15:00.000Z',
maint_reminder: null,
update_duration: '4 Hours',
location: 'Test Group',
issue_state: 'Closed',
notes: [ { created_on: 1484063571941, body: 'lkjlkjhlkj' } ],
emailService: { lastEmailAt: 1484237594114 },
created_on: 1484063571941,
updated_on: 1484240538801,
reason: 'because I want to' } } ] } }
Now, the failed query:
client.search({
index: config.ES_INDEX,
type: "issue",
body: {
query: {
bool: {
must: [
{
term: {
issue_state: 'Closed'
}
}
],
must_not: [
{
term: {
is_maintenance: 'yes'
}
}
]
}
},
size: 1000
}
}).then(function(resp){
console.log(util.inspect(resp, {showHidden: false, depth: null}));
}).catch(function(err){
console.log('Failed to search. ' + err.message);
});
Output:
{ took: 6,
timed_out: false,
_shards: { total: 5, successful: 5, failed: 0 },
hits: { total: 0, max_score: null, hits: [] } }
Any help here would be much appreciated.

I ended up using a little "reverse logic" but here is what is working..
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
client.search({
index: config.ES_INDEX,
type: "issue",
body: {
query: {
bool: {
must:[
{
match: {
issue_state: 'Closed'
}
},
{
match: {
is_maintenance: 'no'
}
}
]
}
},
size: 1000
}
}).then(function (resp) {
resolve (resp.hits.hits);
}).catch(function (err) {
reject('Failed to search. ' + err.message);
});
