match

A match query performs a lexical search over a searchable text field. The search query is analyzed before performing search.

If you would like to search over a semantic-indexed field, consider a semantic and knn search operators instead.

Match query can be written in two JSON formats. A full version:

{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "<field-name>": {
        "query": "<search-query>",
        "operator": "or"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or a shorter version:

{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "<field-name>": "<search-query>"
    }
  }
}

Where:

• <field-name>: is an existing field marked as searchable with lexical search support enabled.
• <search-query>: a search query string.
• operator: optional, possible values: "and", "or". Default is "or". For lexical search, should documents contain all or some of the terms from the search query. For semantic search this parameter is ignored.
