1)When I search for **iphone xs 256GB** it finds it succesfully, but not finds nothing on this case **iphone 256GB xs**  
2)When I search for **ACTIV A151-02 Fresh Line 6000mAh (green)** it only finds this **ACTIV A151-02 Fresh Line 6000mAh (green)** and doesn't find this **ACTIV A151-02 Fresh Line 6000mAh Pink** , **ACTIV A151-02 Fresh Line 6000mAh White** or this **ACTIV A151-02 Fresh Line 6000mAh white**.  
3)Also when I find for **iphone samsung** it can't find nothing  
In one word the full text needs some modifications what can I do?  
I know this is because of AND operator but I need it because of sorting you know...What can I do with this query? pls give me suggestions or help.

There is query...

> GET index/\_search  
> {  
> "from": 0,  
> "query": {  
> "query\_string": {  
> "fields": [  
> "name^5"  
> ],  
> "query": "iphone",  
> "default\_operator": "AND",  
> "type": "phrase\_prefix"  
> }  
> },  
> "size": 10,  
> "sort": [  
> {  
> "vendorCount": {  
> "order": "desc"  
> }  
> },  
> {  
> "viewStatistics": {  
> "order": "desc"  
> }  
> }  
> ],  
> "\_source": {  
> "includes": [  
> "id",

Most likely it's because you are using a phrase prefix.  
You should maybe combine different queries within some bool / should clauses.

What should I use instead of phrase prefix. Nothing works for my cases... Why should queries? I only use them while filtering data.

I didn't say instead but in addition to.

Nothing related to your use case but here are some ideas that could help.
