Span Containing Query

edit

Returns matches which enclose another span query. The span containing query maps to Lucene SpanContainingQuery. Here is an example:

{
    "span_containing" : {
        "little" : {
            "span_term" : { "field1" : "foo" }
        },
        "big" : {
            "span_near" : {
                "clauses" : [
                    { "span_term" : { "field1" : "bar" } },
                    { "span_term" : { "field1" : "baz" } }
                ],
                "slop" : 5,
                "in_order" : true
            }
        }
    }
}

The big and little clauses can be any span type query. Matching spans from big that contain matches from little are returned.
