# Span First Query
> More info about Span First query is in the [official elasticsearch docs][1]
Matches spans near the beginning of a field. The span first query maps to Lucene SpanFirstQuery. Here is an example:
```JSON
{
"query": {
"span_first" : {
"match" : {
"span_term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
},
"end" : 3
}
}
}
```
And now the query via DSL:
```php
$search = new Search();
$query = new SpanFirstQuery(new SpanTermQuery('user', 'kimchy'), 3);
$search->addQuery($query);
$search->toArray();
```
