Exact matches with match query on analyzed field not showing on top result

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
2

I'd use a bool query with multiple should clauses. One would be set with a phrase query and the other one as a match query.

I wrote a full (but complex example) here: https://gist.github.com/dadoonet/5179ee72ecbf08f12f53d4bda1b76bab

Should give something like:

GET oss/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "match_phrase": {
            "name": {
              "query" : "david",
              "boost": 8.0
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "name": {
              "query": "david"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
