Rails Searchkick Elasticsearch to match multiple word search

Question

I have product model that had name, gender, description etc columns and those columns are included in elasticsearch index via search_data method.

Let's assume that I have a product with following values

name: 'No Boyfriend No Problem Crop Jumper'
gender : 'women'
description: 'Best crop jumber for now'

When I search with a term "women crop jumper"

The product doesn't appear in the search result. I am trying to search the products with following query

@products = Product.search(
              params[:q],
              fields: [:gender, :name, :description],
              match: :word_start,
              page: params[:page],
              per_page: Product::PAGE
            )

How should I update my product search so that "women crop jumper" search terms result will include the product above.

Thanks

Looks like this isn't possible as of right now. However, you could do the following and it should work:

def search_data
  {
    name: name,
    gender: gender,
    description: description,
    all_fields: [name, gender, description].compact.join(' ')
  }
end

Then you can just search the all_fields field in your query.
