== Full text queries

The high-level full text queries are usually used for running full text
queries on full text fields like the body of an email. They understand how the
field being queried is <<analysis,analyzed>> and will apply each field's
`analyzer` (or `search_analyzer`) to the query string before executing.

The queries in this group are:

<<query-dsl-match-query,`match` query>>::

    The standard query for performing full text queries, including fuzzy matching
    and phrase or proximity queries.

<<query-dsl-multi-match-query,`multi_match` query>>::

    The multi-field version of the `match` query.

<<query-dsl-common-terms-query,`common_terms` query>>::

    A more specialized query which gives more preference to uncommon words.

<<query-dsl-query-string-query,`query_string` query>>::

    Supports the compact Lucene <<query-string-syntax,query string syntax>>,
    allowing you to specify AND|OR|NOT conditions and multi-field search
    within a single query string. For expert users only.

<<query-dsl-simple-query-string-query,`simple_query_string`>>::

    A simpler, more robust version of the `query_string` syntax suitable
    for exposing directly to users.
