I have documents with id fields
{id:domain-837}{id:domain-838}
these are automatically stored using mapping with data type keyword.
```auto
"id": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"ignore_above": 256,
"type": "keyword"
}
}
},
```
Still when I search it using
MatchQuery,TermQuery I cannot get correct results.
```auto
{
"query": {
"match_phrase": {
"id": "domain-838"
}
}
}
{
"query": {
"terms": {
"_id": [
"domain-837"
]
}
}
}
```
There is a problem with hypen.
Has anyone solved this already can someone share how to define anyalyzer or what data type to use kindly share here

Try using `id.keyword` instead, as your `id` field is a text and will be analysed where as the `.keyword` will be "raw".

does not work with keyword it returns irrelevant result tried search search with term{"field.keyword":value}

Did you try the following (assuming `domain-837` is an existing value)?
```auto
{
"query": {
"term": {
"id.keyword": {
"value": "domain-837"
}
}
}
}
```
What does the document you would expect to match look like?

one more observation I am searching for elastic document UUIDS and I am searching for the text like pG4h5YYBbrFFY-P9s60F
tried like what u shared using term but no use.
I also need partial search say if I search only pG4h5YYBbrFFY or P9s60F

one more update
use data type keyword and also use wildcard query to search for substrings.
another thing is use lowercase filter for searching .when u index index using lowercase filter so that
FOO foo will both be searched
