I am working on a simple search where I would prefer if the categories  
belong to a subset. But even if that isn't the case I would still like to  
have the results. I am currently using the following query

"terms" : {  
"tags" : ["sing", "music" ,"relaxing"],  
"minimum\_should\_match" : 0  
}

despite having minimum\_should\_match as 0, the results which doesn't have  
these tags are not being shown. "tags" in this case is an array of  
words/tags for the entity that I am searching for.

Regards  
Abhishek
