Hi Guys,

I am working with Elastic search 2.4.x.  
I am getting incorrect search results:  
When I search for "Bil" it returns "Billy Brag" before "Bill Bailey". I need to have "Bill Bailey" First.

Here is search query:

```
GET local_product_1_v3 / document / _search{
"size": 10000,
"fields": [
	"name"
],
"query": {
	"bool": {
		"should": [{
				"match": {
					"name": "bil"
				}
			}
		]
	}
}

```

}

Can any body help me to to get correct results, If this is only the final/correct then explain how this is works.

Why is it a better match?  
What is your analyzer?
