[[bool-min-should-match]]
==== Using `minimum_should_match`

You can use the `minimum_should_match` parameter to specify the number or
percentage of `should` clauses returned documents _must_ match.

If the `bool` query includes at least one `should` clause and no `must` or
`filter` clauses, the default value is `1`.
Otherwise, the default value is `0`.

For other valid values, see the
<<query-dsl-minimum-should-match, `minimum_should_match` parameter>>.
