What's the difference between the two queries below?

```json
{
    "match":
    {
        "my_field":
        {
            "query": "one tow three four",
            "operator": "and"
        }
    }
}

```

```json
{
    "match":
    {
        "my_field":
        {
            "query": "one tow three four",
            "type": "phrase"
        }
    }
}

```

I have got different results when searching text of specific language with the two types of query.

## Ignore my question.
