Multi field Mapping with Analyzer

Data indexed
{"id":1,"FIRSTNAME":"John","middlename":"clark","LASTNAME":"Doe"}
{"id":2,"FIRSTNAME":"John","middlename":"clark","LASTNAME":"Dave"}
{"id":3,"FIRSTNAME":"Jane","middlename":"clark","LASTNAME":"Dave"}
Query with query string gives expected results i.e. id = 2 for query below
Query 1
{
"query" : {
"query_string" : {
"fields" : [
"FIRSTNAME",
"LASTNAME"
],
"query" : "john dave",
"default_operator" : "AND"
}
}
}
But the same does not work with multi match
Query 2
{
"query" : {
"filtered" : {
"query" : {
"multi_match" : {
"query" : "sangita saxena",
"fields" : [ "COMBOFIELDS" ],
"operator" : "OR",
"minimum_should_match" : "100%"
}
}
}
}
}
If I remove the analyzer it does give me the expected result
Explanation for Query 1
explanation: +((+FIRSTNAME:joh +FIRSTNAME:john +FIRSTNAME:ohn) | (+LASTNAME:joh +LASTNAME:john +LASTNAME:ohn)) +((+FIRSTNAME:dav +FIRSTNAME:dave +FIRSTNAME:ave) | (+LASTNAME:dav +LASTNAME:dave +LASTNAME:ave))
Explanation for Query 2
explanation: (COMBOFIELDS:joh COMBOFIELDS:john COMBOFIELDS:john COMBOFIELDS:john d COMBOFIELDS:john da COMBOFIELDS:john dav COMBOFIELDS:john dave COMBOFIELDS:ohn COMBOFIELDS:ohn COMBOFIELDS:ohn d COMBOFIELDS:ohn da COMBOFIELDS:ohn dav COMBOFIELDS:ohn dave COMBOFIELDS:hn COMBOFIELDS:hn d COMBOFIELDS:hn da COMBOFIELDS:hn dav COMBOFIELDS:hn dave COMBOFIELDS:n d COMBOFIELDS:n da COMBOFIELDS:n dav COMBOFIELDS:n dave COMBOFIELDS: da COMBOFIELDS: dav COMBOFIELDS: dave COMBOFIELDS:dav COMBOFIELDS:dave COMBOFIELDS:ave)~28
Whats the best way to design this query to get the expected results ?
Either by using individual field names "fields" : [ "FIRSTNAME", "LASTNAME" ] or
by using the multi-field name "fields" : [ "COMBOFIELDS" ]
Our requirement is not just for full words. i.e. search string "john dave" should work same as "joh dave" or "john dav"
Thanks much
