minimum_should_match

Instead of applying the and operator, we can keep the or operator and specify at least how many terms should match in a given document for it to be included in the result. This allows for finer grained control:

GET /amazon_products/products/_search{  "query": {    "match": {      "manufacturer": {        "query": "victory multimedia",        "minimum_should_match": 2      }    }  }}

The preceding query behaves in a similar way to the and operator, as there are two terms in the query and we have specified that, at the minimum, two terms should match. 

With minimum_should_match, we can specify something similar to at least three of the terms matching in the document.
