Matches spans which are near one another. One can specify slop, the
maximum number of intervening unmatched positions, as well as whether
matches are required to be in-order. The span near query maps to Lucene
SpanNearQuery
. Here is an example:
GET /_search { "query": { "span_near" : { "clauses" : [ { "span_term" : { "field" : "value1" } }, { "span_term" : { "field" : "value2" } }, { "span_term" : { "field" : "value3" } } ], "slop" : 12, "in_order" : false } } }
The clauses
element is a list of one or more other span type queries
and the slop
controls the maximum number of intervening unmatched
positions permitted.
