Hi all,  
I'm a bit surprised with the result of the query (see the code below)  
I would expect the doc 4 to be first ... but this is the 1, 2, 5,6,3,4  
If anyone can help.

Thanks a lot

Hi @Guillaume_R

Run the analyze API to understand the generated tokens. Due to the configuration of your mapping I believe that there is no corresponding to the term ccc because the token generated for "iPad Air 2 Space Gray Apple cccdd" would be "cccdd".

```auto
GET shop/_analyze
{
  "field": "title_full",
  "text": ["iPad Air 2 Space Grey Apple cccdd"]
}

```

If you use fuzziness you may have this more relevant document 4 in the answers.

```auto
GET shop/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "title_full": {
        "query": "ipad ccc",
        "fuzziness": 2
      }
      
    }
  }
}

```
