Hi,  
Can any one provide me the query which will fetch the document on basis of input provided.  
For ex . If I pass a person's name it should search document by name and when I pass a phone number it should search document by phone  
Note Input is passed through a search box, so the term is stored in a variable which is passed input to match{}

You are looking for a multi field query:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/query-dsl-multi-match-query.html#multi-match-types](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/query-dsl-multi-match-query.html#multi-match-types)

Example:

```
GET /_search
{
  "query": {
    "multi_match": {
      "query": "John",
      "fields": [
        "name",
        "phone.keyword"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
