Search terms matching order of precedence?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi everyone, I would like to take a search query with multiple terms and
possibly define an order of precedence in the following way.

(bare with me as I become familiar with elasticsearch lingo!)

Can I specify that the exact match is first (The search words "word A word
B" matches "word A + word B"),
then it matches "word B + word A",
then just "word B" is found,
then either "word A or word B"

I'd like to understand how to shuffle the above variations as well?

Thanks much.

Hello Eric ,

Please explore phrase query -

Also there is query_string type which has support for AND , OR etc and even
phrase query -

Hope that helps.

Thanks
Vineeth

Hi Vineeth thanks so much this looks like it will help me.

I have another question, if you don't mind... (or should I post a new
question?)

I would like to specify my top results based on:

  1. A description field and tags both are hits.
  2. Description field only is a hit.
  3. Tags only have a hit.

Is there something I can learn about to understand this? Thanks Eric

Hello Eric ,

I don't exactly understand your requirement.
Please be elaborate.

Thanks
