I am having categories as below and respective products into those categories

- Basin Mixer
- Bath Shower Mixer Taps
- Automatic bib tap
- Basin Taps
- Washbasins
- CounterTop Basins

When i search for **washbasin OR wash basins** , I need to match the products from **only**  
**"Basin Mixer, Washbasins, CounterTop Basins"** , it should not match **Basin Taps**

We tried with **match** filter with **operator: OR** but results are not as expected. Our results are trying to match **Basin Taps**

Hi @Mohandass - It makes sense that `Basin Taps` would be returned with an OR search because `Basins` exists in the document. Depending on how you plan on searching and what your data looks like, you could look at the [synonyms API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/synonyms-apis.html) for the "wash basin vs washbasin" issue and/or maybe set `minimum_to_match`.
