Hello, just wondering how I can implement match phrase (on multiple fields) and multi\_match together. I have a basic query going, but I am not able to figure out phrase match on multiple fields. I want results return in following order:

1. Exact phrase match (word sequence matter with some slop)
2. All words in query matched with AND (words sequence does not matter)
3. Any word in query matched. (OR)  
This is what I have so far:

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "multi_match": {
            "query": "Debit card charges",
            "fields": [
              "title^4",
              "description^3",
              "keywords^3",
              "procedurenumber^4"
            ],
            "type": "most_fields",
            "operator": "or",
            "minimum_should_match": 1,
            "tie_breaker": 0,
            "analyzer": "standard",
            "boost": 1,
            "fuzziness": "AUTO",
            "fuzzy_transpositions": true,
            "auto_generate_synonyms_phrase_query": true,
            "zero_terms_query": "none"
          }
        },
        {
          "match_phrase": {
            "title": "Debit card charges"
            
          }
        }

```
