I want to search part of query to be considered as phrase .For e.g. I want to search "Can you show me documents for Hospitality and Airline Industry" Here I want Airline Industry to be considered as phrase.I dont find any such settings in multi\_match .Even when we try to use multi\_match query using "Can you show me documents for Hospitality and "Airline Industry"" .Default analyser breaks it into separate tokens.I dont want to change settings of my analyser.Also I have found that we can do this in simple\_query\_string but that has consequences that we can not apply filter option as we have in multi\_match boolean query because I want to apply filter on certain feilds as well.
search\_text="Can you show me documents for Hospitality and Airline Industry" Now I Want to pass Airline Industry as a phrase to search my indexed document against 2 fields.
okay so say I have existing code like this.
'If filter:
qry={
“query":{
“bool”:{
“must”:{
"multi\_match":{
"query":search\_text,
"type":"best\_fields",
"fields":["TITLE1","TEXT"],
"tie\_breaker":0.3,
}
},
“filter”:{“terms”:{“GRP\_CD”:[“1234”,”5678”] }
}
}
else:
qry={
```
"query":{
"multi_match":{
"query":search_text',
"type":"best_fields",
"fields":["TITLE1",TEXT"],
"tie_breaker":0.3
}
}
```
}
'
'But then I have realised this code is not handling Airline Industry as a phrase even though I am passing search string like this
"Can you show me documents for Hospitality and "Airline Industry""
As per elastic search document I came to know there is this query which might handle this
'qry={"query":{
"simple\_query\_string":{
"query":"Can you show me documents for Hospitality and "Airline Industry"",
"fields":["TITLE1","TEXT"] }
}
}'
But now my issue is what if user want to apply filter..with filter query as above I can not pass phrase and boolean query is not possible with simple\_query\_string'
