**Elasticsearch version** ( `bin/elasticsearch --version` ): 5.6.11 **Plugins installed** : **JVM version** ( `java -version` ): openjdk version "1.8.0\_222" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0\_222-8u222-b10-1ubuntu1~16.04.1-b10) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.222-b10, mixed mode) **OS version** ( `uname -a` if on a Unix-like system): Linux myserver 4.4.0-131-generic #157-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 12 15:51:36 UTC 2018 x86\_64 x86\_64 x86\_64 GNU/Linux Hi all i'm currently facing an issue where I would like to be able to search for an Address in any way the user could enter said address, e.g. looking for an address. I want my search to be able to search in such a way that the user input order doesnt matter. for example an address: Strawinskylaan 1 (streetname + number) 1077 XW Amsterdam (postalcode + postalcode Letters + City) The user would input for example: "1077 XW" OR "Amsterdam Strawinskylaan" OR "Strawinskylaan" Sometimes a building might have a name which is also stored in my documents I currently store all of these mentioned fields separately as such per document: - building\_name - streetname - number - postalcode - postalcode\_letters - city So without knowing in which order the user will give its input, how could i make my example work? Would I need to restructure? ---

I think you can use the multimatch query and try to apply what the user has entered to every field. You might need to "boost" some fields though. ---
