Looks like all these queries are quite different. This means, every query will have its own implementation?

[munkie]

Yes, every query should be implemented as it own class.
Mainly i created this issue not to forget to implemented missing queries.

[munkie]

Maybe it's better to create issue with all missing filters and queries?

[ruflin]

I would do it one by one. Otherwise the issue is too big to be implemented at once and I also prefer small pull requests.

Is there already some progress on this? I don't need it urgently but it would be nice to have it in a future release. For now I created the query array myself like:

$inner_span_near = array();
$span_near = array();

$inner_span_term1['span_term'] = array("file" => $term1);
$inner_span_term2['span_term'] = array("file" => $term2);;
$inner_terms = array($inner_span_term1,$inner_span_term2);

$inner_span_near['clauses'] = $inner_terms;
$inner_span_near['slop'] = 0;
$inner_span_near['in_order'] = false;
$inner_span_near['collect_payloads'] = false;

$clauses = array('span_near' => $inner_span_near);
$span_term1 = array('span_term' => array("file" => $term3));
$span_term2 = array('span_term' => array("file" => $term4));

$clauses2 = array();
$clauses2[] = $clauses;
$clauses2[] = $span_term1;
$clauses2[] = $span_term2;

$span_near['clauses'] = $clauses2;
$span_near['slop'] = 12;
$span_near['in_order'] = false;
$span_near['collect_payloads'] = false;

$query = array('span_near' => $span_near);

$params = array('query' => $query);

wich gives me:

{
"query": {
"span_near": {
"clauses": [
{
"span_near": {
"clauses": [
{
"span_term": {
"file": "term1"
}
},
{
"span_term": {
"file": "term2"
}
}
],
"slop": 0,
"in_order": false,
"collect_payloads": false
}
},
{
"span_term": {
"file": "term3"
}
},
{
"span_term": {
"file": "term4"
}
}
],
"slop": 12,
"in_order": false,
"collect_payloads": false
}
}
}

As far as I know, there is no progress here. It would be nice if you could push it forward so we have it in the next release.
