Retrieve PartialMatch Only for Match Queries

[CascadingRadium]

• Previously, we returned the PartialMatch field for every hit when the query
  used a Disjunction Searcher. However, this behavior is incorrect, as the
  PartialMatch attribute is only relevant for Match Queries.

So just so we're clear here - partial_match will be set if an explicit disjunction were used and all its components did not match yes?
And also separately, if a match query resolves to a disjunction - and if some of the components did not match, we'll now be setting partial_match - correct?

[CascadingRadium]

• A match query will be a disjunction query over all the terms, and if the document has all
  the terms then partial_match will be set to false else it will be set to true.
• For all other queries partial_match will never show up in the search result as its omitempty and will be simply excluded from the search result.

Ok, then I disagree with your proposal here - we should be returning a partial_match when a disjunction's component doesn't match as well.

like when the top-most query is a disjunction query ?

Ya.
