I would like to match multiple of exact phrases, is it possible?

I would like to search in one field "myfield" for exact phrases: "My exact  
phrase 1" & "My exact phrase 2"

//This is code for one phrase match, how to combine with the other?  
"query": {  
"match\_phrase": {  
"myfield": "My exact phrase 1"  
}  
}

Hey,

you could use a bool query with several must clauses, which in turn contain  
several match\_phrase clauses. See
