ElasticSearch multi_match query for array of strings

I need to query 3000 data from ElasticSearch, and currently I am using multi_match for querying. Is there a way to match using an array of strings? Term is not usable as it only queries the exact value of the string.

Below is an example of an ideal request:

{

    "size": 1,
    "_source": ["_id"],
    "query": {
        "multi_match": {
            "query": ["val1", "val2"],
            "fields": [
                "name",
                "url"
            ]
        }
    }
}

EDIT:

Another use case would be like searching schools:

{

    "size": 1,
    "_source": ["_id"],
    "query": {
        "multi_match": {
            "query": ["school name 1", "school name 2"],
            "fields": [
                "name"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Consider the spaces of each values to be the whole school name.

multi_match doesn't accept and array of values but nothing prevents you from sending a string containing the values. The query string will be analyzed into two tokens val1 and val2 and each will be matched separately on each field.

{

    "size": 1,
    "_source": ["_id"],
    "query": {
        "multi_match": {
            "query": "val1 val2",
            "fields": [
                "name",
                "url"
            ]
        }
    }
}
