I am wondering if it is possible to use shingles with the Simple Query String query. I am performing the following search:

```
{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": [
                {
                    "simple_query_string": {
                        "analyzer": "shingle_analyzer",
                        "fields": [
                            "text_2"
                        ],
                        "lenient": "false",
                        "default_operator": "and",
                        "query": "porsches small red"
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

```

Now, I have a document with text\_2 = `small red porsches`. Since I am using the AND operator, I would expect my document to NOT match, since the above query should produce a shingle of "porsches small red", which is a different order. However, when I look at the match explanation I am only seeing the single word tokens "red" "small" "porsche", which of course match.

Is SQS incompatible with shingles?
