I just tried to use toLowerCase() after your answer [[Searching for a few fields from Set Collection](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/searching-for-a-few-fields-from-set-collection/117189/2?u=nikita_krasnov)]([http://dadoonet](http://dadoonet) answer) and it works with "text" type but didn't work with "keyword".  
May you help with explanation of this case?
