Hello, I'm trying to come up with a query that will search multiple fields, using the 'and' operator and the cross\_fieds type. My goal is that a search for "quick brown fox" will match documents where all 3 of those words are found but not necessarily in the same field. This works fine if the field list i give the multi\_match query are all the same analyzer, although does NOT work when some of the fields are different analyzers. I've read in the documentation that this is because ES will group by analyzer and then do a bool query. Is there some other query/parameter that would allow me to do what I want here? I'm currently not worried about the scoring and just the matching if that makes any difference. -Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You could use a "text\_query" query type, and enable dis-max, or use the dis\_max query type; that will return the "best" documents for multiple fields and multiple words, as you seem to describe Anne On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 10:22 PM, Mike Topper [topper@gmail.com](mailto:topper@gmail.com) wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to come up with a query that will search multiple fields, using > the 'and' operator and the cross\_fieds type.
