=== Span Term Query

Matches spans containing a term. The span term query maps to Lucene
`SpanTermQuery`. Here is an example:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "span_term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
}    
--------------------------------------------------

A boost can also be associated with the query:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "span_term" : { "user" : { "value" : "kimchy", "boost" : 2.0 } }
}    
--------------------------------------------------

Or :

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "span_term" : { "user" : { "term" : "kimchy", "boost" : 2.0 } }
}    
--------------------------------------------------
