Hi,

I have this situation: I want to get documents that have the same tokens as my query. Not documents that can have more tokens that my query as match\_phrase does.  
I can't use term because I need to consider also synonyms and stopwords and also I have to ignore the position of tokens

Example:  
**brown fox** matches **brown fox**  
**brown fox** matches **fox brown**  
**brown fox** doesn't match **brown fox and dog**

Can you help me with this issue?

Thank you.

Maybe the[fingerprint token filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/analysis-fingerprint-tokenfilter.html) is what you need. It de-dups tokens though so `brown fox` would match `fox brown brown`
