Elasticsearch problem with multi word query time synonyms and match queries with AND operator

# Also WRONG! finds only #1, should find #1 & #3
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/multiwordsyns/test/_search?pretty' -d '{"query": {"match": {"text": {"query": "spider man", "operator": "and"}}}}'

Is there a solution to this?

I was wondering the same. Did you find a solution to it?

same problem here :(

From what I understand "spider man, spiderman" corresponds to the simple contraction "spider man, spiderman => spiderman".

If you use the following it works (on 6.1):

"synonyms": [
      "spider man, spiderman => spider man, spiderman"
]

The documentation is quite unclear and references some SOLR parameter expand that is not available in Elasticsearch where one has to expand explicitly:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.1/analysis-synonym-tokenfilter.html

Hope this helps?!
