I have indexed refBook of materials:  
doc/id name  
1 polibutilen  
5 polibutelenteraftalat  
13 elastan,  
23 elastodien,  
25 elastodin

query could contain many materials (using OR operator): elastan, polibutilen.

(example data as unique in English, but real data in other language, so I am using for matching only landuage stemmer (ending could be variable in query).

As a result of search I hitted all this materials, but I need only best hit for each token (for query elastan, polibutilen, only docs 13,1).  
Is it possible to set such a limit? If not what can be another way of implementation of such a logic in elasticsearch?

Hi @va2dim

Could you tell if you are using any analyzer? It would be perfect if you share your mapping/settings so that it is possible to carry out a simulation.
