Hello,  
is it possible to use intervals query with an OR operator logic without using a list of match queries with any\_of rule?

I want to use the intervals positional score for a set of terms, but without the need to loop through each term to construct the query, as I need to pass it as a string parameter in my constructor.

Example:

```auto
{
    "intervals": {
        "title": {
            "any_of": { #or
                "intervals": [
                    {"match": {"query": "smartphone samsung"}},
                    {"match": {"query": "smartphone xiaomi"}}
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

```

This query gives me the result I want, but I need to pass the terms as one single string query, like

```auto
{
    "intervals": {
        "title": {
            "match": {
                "ordered": false,
                "query": "smartphone samsung xiaomi",
                "operator": "or" #<<<<<
            }
        }
    }
}

```

Thanks in advance
