Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I believe you need to use a "keyword" analyzer which uses the "keyword" tokenizer. The doc [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-keyword-analyzer.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-keyword-analyzer.html). ---

It is even easier if you simply set the type of the field to be "keyword". No special analysis needed. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/keyword.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/keyword.html) ---

@Ivan and @tdasch thank you, But the Javascript api is not allowing to put the mapping before index creation.. Please see the listed API url Above. There is function "client.indices.putMapping(....)". If i am wrong then please correct me. ---

Prashant, I wonder if this link might help with the mapping problem? [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22325708/elasticsearch-create-index-with-mappings-using-javascript](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22325708/elasticsearch-create-index-with-mappings-using-javascript) ---
