Please share reproducible examples of your queries, otherwise it is impossible to help. In this example I suppose you are running an `OR` search instead of an `AND` search and you need to specify that as part of your query.

> `abul was a actor`

this is my mapping -

```auto
{
	mappings: {
		properties: {
			transcript: {
				type: "text",
				fields: {
					keyword: {
						type: "keyword",
						ignore_above: 256
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

```

i insert 4 document /sentence -

```auto
Abul hassan was a actor
hassan was a actor
abul was a actor
abul was a actor and hassan was a police

```

This is my query -

```auto
{
    "query":{
            "match": {
                "transcript":{
                    "query": "abul hassan"
                }

            }

    }
}

```

This query return all of the documents , however if i use `AND` operator it'll return  
2 documents (`Abul hassan was a actor` & `abul was a actor and hassan was a police`), but i want to get only `Abul hassan was a actor` document as only this document has `Abul hassan` in it
