I think my use is a good candidate for the constant\_score query—I'm trying to match searched to short (1-10) term product strings, where TF and IDF don't really matter. The [Definitive guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/master/ignoring-tfidf.html) on this subject recommends splitting the query into constant\_score queries, but doesn't explain how to do this, if it's possible to do it automatically.

How do I get my search phrase to split into the individual constant\_score queries?
