Hi there,

I have the following Request I send to ES:

{  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"multi\_match": {  
"query": "socks purple",  
"fields": [  
"TITLE"  
],  
"type": "phrase\_prefix"  
}  
},  
{  
"multi\_match": {  
"query": "socks purple",  
"fields": [  
"TITLE"  
],  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"filter": {  
"and": [  
{  
"terms": {  
"ACTIVE": [  
1  
]  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
},  
"size": 7  
}

Now, the first multi\_match gives me good results, when I input the words I  
search in the correct manner (e.g. "Purple Socks").  
But when I enter it in a 'wrong' way (e.g. "Socks Purple") it doesn't find  
anything.  
A colleague of mine said I could try using a second multi\_match.  
I have not much knowledge of ES, almost all of the above was already there,  
I just extended the code with the second multimatch.  
But now there is the problem, that if I input "socks" it gives me all  
matches for socks.....now when I continue to enter "purple", it gives me  
not just purple socks, but everything matching purple (although I would  
expect only purple socks)  
Anyone knows what the problem here is?
