I noticed that if I replicate a term in the search expression, the relevance of documents containing it only once will increase. Though my expected behavior is to omit them from the results.

Eg  
doc 1 :Fred Fredrickson  
doc2: Fred Waters

search term: fred fred  
I want doc1 but not doc2.

How to achieve this? My index is standard+ngrams and I use AND operatior for ngrams macthing and bool+must for full word matching
