Span containing query

Returns matches which enclose another span query. The span containing query maps to Lucene SpanContainingQuery. Here is an example:

  1. GET /_search
  2. {
  3.   "query": {
  4.     "span_containing": {
  5.       "little": {
  6.         "span_term": { "field1": "foo" }
  7.       },
  8.       "big": {
  9.         "span_near": {
  10.           "clauses": [
  11.             { "span_term": { "field1": "bar" } },
  12.             { "span_term": { "field1": "baz" } }
  13.           ],
  14.           "slop": 5,
  15.           "in_order": true
  16.         }
  17.       }
  18.     }
  19.   }
  20. }

The big and little clauses can be any span type query. Matching spans from big that contain matches from little are returned.
