Search based on relative position

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi ,

Is it possible to search giving the relative position of keywords.

Like , i want to search for "Indian health" . I want these terms to exactly
come next to each other , any other order is considered as false result.
Is this possible using elasticsearch ?

Thanks
Vineeth

You can use any query that supports the slop parameter. The span queries
will give you more control over the exact positioning. A slop of zero means
exact phrase matching.

Cheers,

Ivan

One more question.

Is it possible to tell the relative position between the tokens.
Like

Is (TOKEN)[0-3] going home

Here "home" should be immediately followed by going but there can be
maximum of 3 tokens between is and going.

Well, that is what "slop" is in that documentation you were pointed to.

Note that "is" can be a stopword, By definition, stopwords are not in the
index. So be careful that you understand how your analyzer is actually
indexing what you are giving it.

Spend some time understanding the query explanation that (optionally) comes
back from each hit.
