# Phrase Query

A _phrase query_ searches for terms occurring at the specified position and offsets. It performs an exact term-match for all the phrase-constituents without using an analyzer.

```json
{
  "terms": ["nice", "view"],
  "field": "reviews.content"
}
```

A demonstration of the phrase query using the Java SDK can be found in [Searching from the SDK](#3.2@java-sdk::full-text-searching-with-sdk.adoc).
