Matches spans which are near one another. One can specify slop, the maximum number of intervening unmatched positions, as well as whether matches are required to be in-order. The span near query maps to Lucene SpanNearQuery. Here is an example:
{
"span_near" : {
"clauses" : [
{ "span_term" : { "field" : "value1" } },
{ "span_term" : { "field" : "value2" } },
{ "span_term" : { "field" : "value3" } }
],
"slop" : 12,
"in_order" : false,
"collect_payloads" : false
}
}
The clauses element is a list of one or more other span type queries and the slop controls the maximum number of intervening unmatched positions permitted.
