=== Span term query
++++
<titleabbrev>Span term</titleabbrev>
++++

Matches spans containing a term. The span term query maps to Lucene
`SpanTermQuery`. Here is an example:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "span_term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
    }
}    
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE

A boost can also be associated with the query:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
    "query": {
       "span_term" : { "user" : { "value" : "kimchy", "boost" : 2.0 } }
    }
}    
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE

Or :

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
    "query": {
        "span_term" : { "user" : { "term" : "kimchy", "boost" : 2.0 } }
    }
}    
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
