Hi,

We have an issue with the match query of elastic search implementation.

Our index for categories field is as below.

"categories": [  
"DJ’s",  
"Entertainment Entertainment Entertainment  
Entertai",  
_"Allergist_",  
"Transportation Services"  
],

We are getting result when searched using the following input, with "query":  
"allergist". Please see the query below.  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"term": {  
"status": 1  
}  
},  
{  
"term": {  
"account\_status": 1  
}  
}  
],  
"should": {  
"multi\_match": {  
\* "query": "allergist",\*  
"fields": [  
"categories^5",  
"service\_titles^4",  
"keywords^3",  
"long\_descriptions^2",  
"general\_desc^1",  
"business\_name^0"  
],  
"type": "phrase\_prefix"  
}  
},  
"minimum\_should\_match": 1  
}  
},  
"sort": {  
"recommend\_rank": {  
"order": "desc"  
}  
},  
"from": 0,  
"size": "10"  
}

But not getting the result when using the input with "query": "holistic  
allergist". Please see the query below.

{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"term": {  
"status": 1  
}  
},  
{  
"term": {  
"account\_status": 1  
}  
}  
],  
"should": {  
"multi\_match": {  
\* "query": "holistic allergist",\*  
"fields": [  
"categories^5",  
"service\_titles^4",  
"keywords^3",  
"long\_descriptions^2",  
"general\_desc^1",  
"business\_name^0"  
],  
"type": "phrase\_prefix"  
}  
},  
"minimum\_should\_match": 1  
}  
},  
"sort": {  
"recommend\_rank": {  
"order": "desc"  
}  
},  
"from": 0,  
"size": "10"  
}

I would appreciate your help on solving this issue.

Regards,  
Anoop.

I guess it's caused by:

```
  "type": "phrase_prefix"

```

Just a note: why searching with a boost=0?

David,

Its not work for me!

Is it possible to split the keyword with whitespace and search on the  
fields.

Boost "0" doesn't make seance and I removed that, Thanks for the note.
