Multi-word, multi-term querystring query

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

When running a multi-term querystring query with multiple search fields, I get different results depending on if there is a boolean operator present.

For example if I have the following document:

{
   title: "Car",
   description: "Boat"
}

When I run the following query I get back 0 hits.

{
 "query": {
   "query_string": {
      "default_operator": "AND",
      "fields": ["title", "description"],
      "query": "Car Boat"
  }
}

But if I add an "AND" in the query I get back the 1 hit as expected:

{
 "query": {
   "query_string": {
      "default_operator": "AND",
      "fields": ["title", "description"],
      "query": "Car AND Boat"
  }
}

I would have thought setting the default_operator to "AND" would have resulted in the same hits.

Welcome!
