Hi,
While performing some tests to check how ES behaves if one of the query
keywords is a stop word (for e.g. the), I came across a weird behaviour. If
I perform a "text" AND query for "The queen" (looks like
[https://gist.github.com/2867311](https://gist.github.com/2867311)) then I get some results back. But
performing a bool query with must clause for "the" and "queen" does not
return any results ([https://gist.github.com/2867307](https://gist.github.com/2867307)).
In my understanding, a text AND query can be directly mapped to a bool MUST
query. Apparently, that is not the case.
Is this an expected behaviour of ES?
Cheers
Nitish

In the first case, the stop word is getting dropped during parsing and your
query is translated into text:queen, which returns results.
In the second case the first part is translated into special MatchNoDocs
boolean query that returns no results, and then it is combined
with +(text:queen user\_name:queen) using AND operator. As a result the
combined query returns no results.
