I have a technical question about elasticsearch and graph.

Given the 2 documents below I have a couple of questions:

Would graph find the second document if someone only searched on the phone number?

Is there a regular elastic query that would be able to perform that function?

```auto
{"docid":"t123",

"firstname":"Johnny",

"lastname":"smith",

"address":"1300 main Street",

"city":"Buffalo",

"state":"NY",

"ssn": "123456789",

"phone":"5555551212"

}

 

{

"docid":"t125",

"firstname":"John",

"lastname":"smith",

"address":"1300 main Street",

"city":"Buffalo",

"state":"NY",

"ssn": "123456789"

 

}

```
