I have below script to test span near query

#!/bin/bash

curl -XPUT 'ourhost/xiaolongindexername/'

curl -XPUT 'ourhost/xiaolongindexername/xiaolongindexertype/1' -d '{

```
"company":"Safari Books Online"

}'

```

#test match query to make sure index is inserted properly

curl -XGET 'ourhost/xiaolongindexername/xiaolongindexertype/\_search' -d  
'{"query": {"match":{"company":"safari"}}}'

curl -XGET 'ourhost/xiaolongindexername/xiaolongindexertype/\_search' -d '{  
"query": { "span\_near" : {"clauses" : [ {"span\_term" : {"company" :  
"Safari"}}, {"span\_term" : {"company" : "Books"}}, {"span\_term" : {  
"company" : "Online" } } ],"slop" : 100,"in\_order" :  
false,"collect\_payloads" : false } } }'

I can get result for match query but not for span query.

Does anyone have any clue?

Thanks,

Xiaolong
