What is the best way for us to perform a phrase search where we are concerned with the proximity between phrases (not terms)? I have looked at Match Query and Query String Query and I see how slop allows for Proximity between individual terms but we need to be able to do this at the level of phrases like: "Quick Brown Fox" NEAR(50) "Flying Squirrel" Thanks. -- Karen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
