When I search `personal computer` → Hit the document that includes `personal OR computer`  
Can I change this condition to → Hit the document that includes `personal AND computer??`

I'm using elasticsearch 5.1.1

You can put the string in quotes to search for the exact phrase or you can specify a boolean condition like you gave using `AND`. See the [Query String Syntax](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax) documenation.
