Full text search independently of the order of words

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Is there any posibility to perform a full-text search independently of the order you type the words?

I want to perform full text search in a field that contains names, and I want to show in the results the right match, but right now if I write :
John Adams Smith

I obtained normally :
John Adams Smith
John Adams John
John Adams Robert
..
Adams John

I want to know if there is any posibility to obtain better score for the correct match but with no dependece with the order you type the query. In this example: Adams John.
The query could be two, three, four ... terms. There is no restriction. And we have in the index names with 1,2,3,4... n terms.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
The match query supports a minimum_should_match parameter where you can define how many terms have to match in order to consider a document a match.

Let me know if that helps or if you have any more questions.
