Thanks Jonathan. To further clarify, I understand the the match of my blue rabbit would have to be found in 1 element (of my multi-valued defined field) for the phrase boost on that field to kick in. If for example my document had the following 3 entries for the multi-value field.... my black cat his blue car her pink rabbit Then I assume the phrase boost would not kick-in as the search term (my blue rabbit) isnt found in a single element (but can be found across them). Thanks again Jason.

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.
