Full-Text Queries: Match Query Parameters

Overview

The match query in Elasticsearch serves as a powerful tool for performing full-text searches, allowing users to locate and retrieve documents that contain a specific term or phrase within a field. Nonetheless, Elasticsearch extends the capabilities of the match query by providing a diverse set of extra parameters. These parameters grant users the ability to fine-tune their search results and exert precise control over the matching process. Here are some of the most important extra parameters available in Elasticsearch’s match query:

• The analyzer parameter

• The operator parameter.

• The minimum_should_match parameter
