=== Terms query
++++
<titleabbrev>Terms</titleabbrev>
++++
Returns documents that contain one or more *exact* terms in a provided field.
The `terms` query is the same as the <<query-dsl-term-query, `term` query>>,
except you can search for multiple values.
[[terms-query-ex-request]]
==== Example request
The following search returns documents where the `user` field contains `kimchy`
or `elasticsearch`.
[source,console]
----
GET /_search
{
"query" : {
"terms" : {
"user" : ["kimchy", "elasticsearch"],
"boost" : 1.0
}
}
}
----
[[terms-top-level-params]]
==== Top-level parameters for `terms`
`<field>`::
+
--
(Optional, object) Field you wish to search.
The value of this parameter is an array of terms you wish to find in the
provided field. To return a document, one or more terms must exactly match a
field value, including whitespace and capitalization.
By default, {es} limits the `terms` query to a maximum of 65,536
terms. You can change this limit using the <<index-max-terms-count,
`index.max_terms_count`>> setting.
[NOTE]
To use the field values of an existing document as search terms, use the
<<query-dsl-terms-lookup, terms lookup>> parameters.
--
`boost`::
+
--
(Optional, float) Floating point number used to decrease or increase the
<<relevance-scores,relevance scores>> of a query. Defaults to `1.0`.
You can use the `boost` parameter to adjust relevance scores for searches
containing two or more queries.
Boost values are relative to the default value of `1.0`. A boost value between
`0` and `1.0` decreases the relevance score. A value greater than `1.0`
increases the relevance score.

[[terms-query-notes]]
==== Notes
[[query-dsl-terms-query-highlighting]]
===== Highlighting `terms` queries
<<request-body-search-highlighting,Highlighting>> is best-effort only. {es} may not
return highlight results for `terms` queries depending on:
* Highlighter type
* Number of terms in the query
[[query-dsl-terms-lookup]]
===== Terms lookup
Terms lookup fetches the field values of an existing document. {es} then uses
those values as search terms. This can be helpful when searching for a large set
of terms.
Because terms lookup fetches values from a document, the <<mapping-source-field,
`_source`>> mapping field must be enabled to use terms lookup. The `_source`
field is enabled by default.
[NOTE]
By default, {es} limits the `terms` query to a maximum of 65,536
terms. This includes terms fetched using terms lookup. You can change
this limit using the <<index-max-terms-count, `index.max_terms_count`>> setting.
To perform a terms lookup, use the following parameters.
[[query-dsl-terms-lookup-params]]
====== Terms lookup parameters
`index`::
(Optional, string) Name of the index from which to fetch field values.
`id`::
(Optional, string) <<mapping-id-field,ID>> of the document from which to fetch
field values.
`path`::
+
--
(Optional, string) Name of the field from which to fetch field values. {es} uses
these values as search terms for the query.
If the field values include an array of nested inner objects, you can access
those objects using dot notation syntax.
--
`routing`::
(Optional, string) Custom <<mapping-routing-field, routing value>> of the
document from which to fetch term values. If a custom routing value was provided
when the document was indexed, this parameter is required.
[[query-dsl-terms-lookup-example]]
====== Terms lookup example
To see how terms lookup works, try the following example.
. Create an index with a `keyword` field named `color`.
+
--
[source,console]
----
PUT my_index
{
"mappings" : {
"properties" : {
"color" : { "type" : "keyword" }
}
}
}
----
--
. Index a document with an ID of 1 and values of `["blue", "green"]` in the
`color` field.
+
--
[source,console]
----
PUT my_index/_doc/1
{
"color": ["blue", "green"]
}
----
// TEST[continued]
--
. Index another document with an ID of 2 and value of `blue` in the `color`
field.
+
--
[source,console]
----
PUT my_index/_doc/2
{
"color": "blue"
}
----
// TEST[continued]
--
. Use the `terms` query with terms lookup parameters to find documents
containing one or more of the same terms as document 2. Include the `pretty`
parameter so the response is more readable.
+

[source,console]
----
GET my_index/_search?pretty
{
"query": {
"terms": {
"color" : {
"index" : "my_index",
"id" : "2",
"path" : "color"
}
}
}
}
----
// TEST[continued]
Because document 2 and document 1 both contain `blue` as a value in the `color`
field, {es} returns both documents.
