First of all say hello to staffs and users here 🙂  
I have a small question on es search function

Assume I have few data like:

> count:100  
> text:monkey
> 
> count:90  
> text:king
> 
> count:80  
> text:monkey king
> 
> count:70  
> text:monkey here
> 
> count:60  
> text:king here
> 
> count:50  
> text:monkey king here

I want to search with keyword: monkey king on "text" field; And sort them on "count" desc

I prefer data with both "monkey" and "king" rank the top, then data with "monkey" OR "king". So the result should be:

> count:80  
> text:monkey king
> 
> count:50  
> text:monkey king here
> 
> count:100  
> text:monkey
> 
> count:90  
> text:king
> 
> count:70  
> text:monkey here
> 
> count:60  
> text:king here

Any code I can use in Elasticsearch?

Note: Sure I can search twice to do it But I wonder if I can get my result with 1 search.

Billion thanks in advance.
