+=== Span Not Query
+
+Removes matches which overlap with another span query. The span not
+query maps to Lucene `SpanNotQuery`. Here is an example:
+
+[source,js]
+--------------------------------------------------
+{
+    "span_not" : {
+        "include" : {
+            "span_term" : { "field1" : "value1" }
+        },
+        "exclude" : {
+            "span_term" : { "field2" : "value2" }
+        }
+    }
+}
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The `include` and `exclude` clauses can be any span type query. The
+`include` clause is the span query whose matches are filtered, and the
+`exclude` clause is the span query whose matches must not overlap those
+returned.
