I posted on here earlier, but it was immediately deleted.  
Any idea why?

It's very strange!  
It happens every time i paste in that question!

Thanks for your reply,  
I checked bool query, but it still expects a value to compare on?  
Or am I missing something?

I didn't think so.  
Any idea how i'd even start implementing that?  
Or is it a case of:

Get all documents  
for each document, compare against other documents...  
(which is what i'm doing now with mongodb)

I am not sure what your usecase is but I think you could go an do this  
lazily once you need this information since ES is fast enough?  
you also might wanna look at "more like this"  
([Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/more-like-this/))  
otherwise yeah you need to iterate 😕

Any possible solution would require evaluating every document once for each  
query since the indices are no longer helpful. I would just catch the  
equality condition at index time and create a new field that indicates if  
the fields are equal or not. Of course, this solution doesn't scale well if  
you want to compare more than the same two fields.
