[[query-dsl-match-query-phrase]] === Match Phrase Query The `match_phrase` query analyzes the text and creates a `phrase` query out of the analyzed text. For example: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- GET /_search { "query": { "match_phrase" : { "message" : "this is a test" } } } -------------------------------------------------- // CONSOLE A phrase query matches terms up to a configurable `slop` (which defaults to 0) in any order. Transposed terms have a slop of 2. The `analyzer` can be set to control which analyzer will perform the analysis process on the text. It defaults to the field explicit mapping definition, or the default search analyzer, for example: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- GET /_search { "query": { "match_phrase" : { "message" : { "query" : "this is a test", "analyzer" : "my_analyzer" } } } } -------------------------------------------------- // CONSOLE This query also accepts `zero_terms_query`, as explained in <<query-dsl-match-query, `match` query>>.
