Hi,

My documents are tiny documents (list of words and phrases) and I need that my queries match "whole" documents tokens ("whole" = tokens with stopwords) and not parts of documents.

## EXAMPLE

Documents are like

```
doc1: {"text": "ministry"}
doc2: {"text": "justice"}
doc3: {"text": "ministry of justice"}

```

Analyzer is made of :

```
{“tokenizer": "icu_tokenizer", "filter": ["icu_normalizer", "english_stopwords", "english_stemmer]}

```

A basic match query would be :

```
GET /test/en/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match" : {
      "text": {
        "query" : "<QUERY>",
        "operator": "AND"
      }
    }
  }
} 

```

What query should I use to get following behavior:

- hit **doc3** for query "_the justice ministry_" ?  
A match query with **operator:AND** does the job.  
But it would not be okay if I had an extra document like _{"text": "chef of ministry of justice"}_, it would be matched too.
- hit **doc1** for query "_ministries_" (and not **doc3** ) ?  
If I use a basic match query, I would get documents **doc1** and **doc3** , but I only want **doc1**
- hit **doc2** for query "_justices_" (and not **doc3** ) ?  
If I use a basic match query, I would get documents **doc2** and **doc3** , but I only want **doc2**

Is there a way to do it in a single query ?

Thanks a lot for your help,

---
