Elasticsearch - Basic Search Queries

You want to find documents where the phrase "system failure" appears, but you want to allow up to two words between "system" and "failure". Which match_phrase query option should you use?

A{ "query": { "match_phrase": { "message": "system failure" } } }

B{ "query": { "match_phrase": { "message": { "query": "system failure", "slop": 2 } } } }

C{ "query": { "match": { "message": { "query": "system failure", "slop": 2 } } } }

D{ "query": { "match_phrase": { "message": { "query": "system failure", "fuzziness": 2 } } } }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand slop parameter
The slop option in match_phrase allows a specified number of words between the phrase terms.
Step 2: Evaluate options
{ "query": { "match_phrase": { "message": { "query": "system failure", "slop": 2 } } } } correctly uses slop": 2 to allow two words between "system" and "failure". { "query": { "match_phrase": { "message": "system failure" } } } does not allow any gaps. { "query": { "match": { "message": { "query": "system failure", "slop": 2 } } } } incorrectly uses match instead of match_phrase. { "query": { "match_phrase": { "message": { "query": "system failure", "fuzziness": 2 } } } } incorrectly uses fuzziness which is unrelated to phrase gaps.
Final Answer:
{ "query": { "match_phrase": { "message": { "query": "system failure", "slop": 2 } } } } -> Option B
