The two queries below are equivalent¶

GET /recipe/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "title": "pasta carbonara"
    }
  }
}

GET /recipe/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "term": {
            "title": "pasta"
          }
        },
        {
          "term": {
            "title": "carbonara"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

          }
        },
