=== Span Multi Term Query

The `span_multi` query allows you to wrap a `multi term query` (one of wildcard,
fuzzy, prefix, range or regexp query) as a `span query`, so
it can be nested. Example:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "span_multi":{
            "match":{
                "prefix" : { "user" :  { "value" : "ki" } }
            }
        }
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE

A boost can also be associated with the query:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "span_multi":{
            "match":{
                "prefix" : { "user" :  { "value" : "ki", "boost" : 1.08 } }
            }
        }
    }
}
