You are correct. The query needs to match as a phrase. It doesn't need to match "everything". Note that if a value is:

"long sentence with my blue rabbit in it",

then query "my blue rabbit" will also match as a phrase, for phrase boosting or query purposes.

Hi - I have a multi-value field, so say for example it consists of
'my black cat'
'my white dog'
'my blue rabbit'

The field is whitespace parsed when put into the index.

I have a phrase query boost configured on this field which I understand kicks 
in when my search term is found entirely in this field.

So, if the search term is 'my blue rabbit', then I understand that my phrase boost will be applied as this is found entirley in this field.
My question/presumption is that as this is a multi-valued field, only 1 value 
of the multi-value needs to match for the phrase query boost (given my very 
imaginative set of test data :-) above, you can see that this obviously matches 
1 value and not them all)

Thanks for your help.
