My example: Book - name - description - author I want to find all books that have the words "red" and "blue" in the name or description fields. So I do a match w/ operator "OR" against fields name and description. BUT both red and blue must appear. name: red description: blue author: foo name: blue description: red author: foo name: blue red description: blue author: foo All books above would match. But this would not match: name: red description: pink author: foo since it doesn't have blue. I can do this by also specifying that "red" and "blue" match the "\_all" field (using the AND operator for "red blue". BUT I would like to NOT use the \_all field... is it possible for me to? Can't figure out how to do this without using the \_all field.... -T -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
