Elasticsearch results sort order

Question

I want to get results in a specific order first get the exact phrase (match_phrase) match and then match any word in phrase (match), for example, if I'm searching for "where can i find my account"I will get the documents containing the full phrase "where can I find my account" first and then documents that contain one or more of the words "where", "can", "find", "my", "account"

my query :

GET my_index/_search

{

"query": {

"bool": {
  "should": [
    {
      "match": {"body": "right usage of Localization"      }
    } ,
    {
      "match": {"title": "right usage of Localization"      }
    } 
    ],
    "should": [
    {
      "match_phrase": {"body": "translated"      }
    },
    {
      "match_phrase": {"title": "translated"      }
    } 
    ]
  }

} }

You can use boost query to boost the documents matching your match_phrase query. You can change the boost parameter accordingly.

Following query should work for you

POST phrase_index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "bool": {
            "should": [
              {
                "match": {
                  "title": "this is where it should work first"
                }
              },
              {
                "match": {
                  "body": "this is where it should work first"
                }
              }
            ]
          }
        },
        {
          "bool": {
            "should": [
              {
                "match_phrase": {
                  "title": {
                    "query": "this is where it should work first",
                    "boost": 20
                  }
                }
              },
              {
                "match_phrase": {
                  "body": {
                    "query": "this is where it should work first",
                    "boost": 20
                  }
                }
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Hi! What if I just wanted to use only the match_phrase for both fields? I tried your answer without any of the match but it did not work for me.
