Hello,

I'm upgrading my codebase's ElasticSearch from 5.6 to 7.x due to some features I'd like to explore.

I'm currently using GoLang & "[github.com/olivere/elastic/v5](http://github.com/olivere/elastic/v5)" specifically.

However, auto\_generate\_phrase\_query has been depreciated, and AutoGeneratePhraseQueries no longer works on v7 (or v6) ("[github.com/olivere/elastic/v7](http://github.com/olivere/elastic/v7)").

I've read to use explicit quoted queries, is there no setting i can set to true/false in ES when making requests to achieve this? Must i explicitly wrap my queries in quotation marks? Surely there must be a proper way to do this...

Ontop of this question, this might seem like a novice question, but is there performance updates in newer versions of ES or is it strictly Functionality updates?

Thanks!

I can't answer the first part sorry.

Both. There's been tonnes of performance improvements from 5.X to 7.X 🙂

Hi Mark,

Thank you for taking the time of day to respond to me! This is more incentive to upgrade!

The best similar thing i could get was using `"type": "phrase"` for any future lurkers having a similar needs!
