Hi everyone - So far we have been using "match" query as that is supposed  
to be search-box friendly.  
Now I have been reading through the release notes of 0.90.8 and see that  
Lucene's SimpleQueryParser is now  
available[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/4159](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/4159).

Hence wanted to get your thoughts on whether this new SimpleQueryParser (  
simple\_query\_string[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-simple-query-string-query.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-simple-query-string-query.html))  
is really as powerful as it seems and has the potential to be used when one  
wants to allow basic expressions (AND, OR, NEGATION, etc) in the search  
text box.

Comments?

-Amit.
