Hi all,

I want to create PhraseQuery for two fields as follows:

QueryBuilder queryBuilder1 =  
QueryBuilders.matchPhraseQuery(field1,termExact);  
QueryBuilder queryBuilder2 =  
QueryBuilders.matchPhraseQuery(field2,termExact);

I want my query returning documents that contain the termExact in field1 or  
field2;

how I can proceed,

-Yahia AMMAR

Add queryBuilder1 and queryBuilder2 as should clauses inside a  
BoolQueryBuilder, and set minimumShouldMatch to 1.

Something like:

BoolQueryBuilder orQuery = QueryBuilders.boolQuery();  
orQuery.should(queryBuilder1);  
orQuery.should(queryBuilder2);  
orQuery.minimumNumberShouldMatch(1);

Then issue the orQuery.

You will actually get a better performance by using MultiMatch[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/multi-match-query/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/multi-match-query/)query.

{"multi\_match":{"fields":["field1","field2"], "type":"phrase", "Great  
Phrase"}}
