Trying to (extremely) simplify my requirements.

Given a document structure similar to this:

```
{ 
   "id": 1.
   " vendor_type": "electrician",
   "location": "new york",
   "price_level": "cheap"
}

{ 
   "id": 2.
   " vendor_type": "plumber",
   "location": "chicago",
   "price_level": "expensive"
}

```

Is there a pattern/tools/techniques I can follow if I want to enable my users to query something like:

```
cheap electricians in new york
plumbers in chicago

```

I would appreciate any insight or pointer

Hey @GenXJason,

This is something related to recommendation engine.  
GET index\_name/\_search

{

"query": {

```
"term": {

  "price_level": "baker"

}

```

},

"aggs": {

```
  "bestMatch": {

    "terms": {

      "field": "vendor_type.keyword"

    }

  }

```

}

}
