Full text queries
editFull text queries
editThe high-level full text queries are usually used for running full text
queries on full text fields like the body of an email. They understand how the
field being queried is analyzed and will apply each field’s
analyzer
(or search_analyzer
) to the query string before executing.
The queries in this group are:
-
match
query - The standard query for performing full text queries, including fuzzy matching and phrase or proximity queries.
-
match_phrase
query -
Like the
match
query but used for matching exact phrases or word proximity matches. -
match_phrase_prefix
query -
The poor man’s search-as-you-type. Like the
match_phrase
query, but does a wildcard search on the final word. -
multi_match
query -
The multi-field version of the
match
query. -
common_terms
query - A more specialized query which gives more preference to uncommon words.
-
query_string
query - Supports the compact Lucene query string syntax, allowing you to specify AND|OR|NOT conditions and multi-field search within a single query string. For expert users only.
-
simple_query_string
-
A simpler, more robust version of the
query_string
syntax suitable for exposing directly to users.
