Hi

I need to achieve a phrase match in multi match query at the same time want to ignore the idf of query phrase in "type" : "phrase". Though using the "type" : "cross\_fields" reduces the idf but the issue with it is apart from providing a exact match it also gives doc where there is a match of single term.  
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards  
Ashit

Hey,

if you need to ignore the IDF, cant you put that query in a `filter` of a `bool` query? And put your scoring relevant query in the `must` or `should` part?
