Match-only text field type

A variant of text that trades scoring and efficiency of positional queries for space efficiency. This field effectively stores data the same way as a text field that only indexes documents (index_options: docs) and disables norms (norms: false). Term queries perform as fast if not faster as on text fields, however queries that need positions such as the match_phrase query perform slower as they need to look at the _source document to verify whether a phrase matches. All queries return constant scores that are equal to 1.0.

Analysis is not configurable: text is always analyzed with the default analyzer (standard by default).

span queries are not supported with this field, use interval queries instead, or the text field type if you absolutely need span queries.

Other than that, match_only_text supports the same queries as text. And like text, it does not support sorting and has only limited support for aggregations.

fields

Multi-fields allow the same string value to be indexed in multiple ways for different purposes, such as one field for search and a multi-field for sorting and aggregations, or the same string value analyzed by different analyzers.
