Elasticsearch: combine cutoff_frequency with the and operator? -

i have come across elasticsearch queries combining cutoff_frequency "and" operator, not make sense me.

this part of bool query:

  {     "match": {       "content": {         "query": "i has candy , cake",         "cutoff_frequency": 0.001,         "operator": "and"       }     }   } 

and according documentation cutoff_frequency (depending on documents, likely) transform following;

{   "bool": {     "must": {        "bool": {         "should": [           { "term": { "text": "candy" }},           { "term": { "text": "cake"  }}         ]       }     },     "should": {        "bool": {         "should": [           { "term": { "text": "i" }},           { "term": { "text": "has" }},           { "term": { "text": "and" }}         ]       }     }   } } 

but happens since there "and" operator added query? mean "cutoff_frequency" has no effect?

it has effect. documentation elastic documentation

the match query supports cutoff_frequency allows specifying absolute or relative document frequency high-frequency terms moved optional subquery , only scored if 1 of low frequency (below cutoff) terms in case of or operator or all of low-frequency terms in case of , operator match.

update: have been mistaken in query

looks that:

{  "bool": {     "must": {        "bool": {         "must": [           { "term": { "text": "candy" }},           { "term": { "text": "cake"  }}        ]      }     },  "should": {      "bool": {        "should": [          { "term": { "text": "i" }},          { "term": { "text": "has" }},          { "term": { "text": "and" }}        ]     }    }   }  } 

and answering question "yes if match both term"
