Multi match query

The multi_match query is an extension of the match query. The multi_match query allows us to run the match query across multiple fields, and also allows many options to calculate the overall score of the documents.

The multi_match query can be used with different options. We will look at the following options:

• Boosting one or more fields
• With types of multi_match queries
