Hi

I have multiple **match\_phrase\_prefix** queries which I am trying to combine in one query.

```
GET test/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "match_phrase_prefix": {
            "test_data": {
              "query": "search of"
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "match_phrase_prefix": {
            "test_data": {
              "query": "world in"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

I am combining similar multiple **match\_phrase** queries using **simple\_query\_string** like this-

```
GET test/_search
{
  "query": {
    "simple_query_string": {
      "query": "\"search of\" \"world in\"",
        "fields": ["test_data"]
    }
  }
}

```

Is there a way to combine multiple **match\_phrase\_prefix** queries also using **simple\_query\_string** or another query?
