Hi, Yes, my queries are like the first case. And as there have been no other suggestions to do it in a single search operation, will have to do it the way you suggested. This technique will do the job particularly because title's text is always in the body as well. So finally I will have to run two search operations like
(body:a AND body:b AND body:c) AND (title:a OR title:b OR title:c) to get the first group of results for title match, and (body:a AND body:b AND body:c) NOT (title:a OR title:b OR title:c) to get the second group of results with just body match, and sort each group by date. As the queries in two operations are very similar, even if there is overhead involved by doing it in two search operations, I think it can be improved by using filters that cache results and reuse them in the second search operation. But I'm not sure how much overhead would there be for doing it in two search operations, and if this optimization is really needed. Thanks once again for your help. Regards Wiseman --- "Michael D.
