Hi All, if I search for "UK Equity", there is a specific order to the phrase. Your result will have to return like "XXXXXX UK XXXXX Equity" but not "XXXXX Equity XXXX UK" How I can implement this in elastic search? Please suggest. Thanks, Pulkit Agrawal ---

you can use text query with text phrase type, possibly using a higher than 0 slop value ( [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/text-query.html)), which means how far terms within the phrase can be "apart".
