Bool Query
editBool Query
editA query that matches documents matching boolean combinations of other
queries. The bool query maps to Lucene BooleanQuery. It is built using
one or more boolean clauses, each clause with a typed occurrence. The
occurrence types are:
| Occur | Description |
|---|---|
|
The clause (query) must appear in matching documents. |
|
The clause (query) should appear in the matching document. In
a boolean query with no |
|
The clause (query) must not appear in the matching documents. |
The bool query also supports disable_coord parameter (defaults to
false). Basically the coord similarity computes a score factor based
on the fraction of all query terms that a document contains. See Lucene
BooleanQuery for more details.
The bool query takes a more-matches-is-better approach, so the score from
each matching must or should clause will be added together to provide the
final _score for each document.
