I have done proximity using query string i.e

{  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"should" : {  
"query\_string" : {  
"field" : "Title",  
"query" : ""ELASTIC SEARCH"~3"  
}  
},  
"highlight" : {  
"fields" : {  
"Title" : {}  
}  
}}  
}  
but i wanna use proximity without query string so tell me how i can do.
