[elasticsearch] minimum_should_match default value

 

You can use the minimum_should_match parameter to specify the number or percentage of should clauses returned documents must match.

If the bool query includes at least one should clause and no must or filter clauses, the default value is 1. Otherwise, the default value is 0.

For other valid values, see the minimum_should_match parameter.
