In my data, I have field `name` that contains values like this

- 1234\_Customer xxx
- 2345\_Customer yyy
- 5678\_Customer zzz

When I'm trying to do match query with text, it works

```
{
    "query": {
        "match": {
            "name": {
                "query": "customer",
                "operator": "and"
            }
        }
    }
}

```

But when I'm trying to find using number at front (it's a customer ID), nothing shown up

```
{
    "query": {
        "match": {
            "name": {
                "query": "123",
                "operator": "and"
            }
        }
    }
}

```

Is there something else to do before querying? Or I need to use different query?  
I think it has something to do with pattern, since between number and first word is \_ (underscore)?

Thank you

Could you please provide your mapping file.  
Have you used any type of analyzers?
