Hi guys,
I want to do some response tests on Elasticsearch by sending a log with the following structure:
2020-05-08T14:00:34,177+0300 | INFO | FRONB100139 | P2116 | [main] | ResponseTimeTest.App | This is a test message | b047f825-5a40-49f5-97b4-66e9efc58e86
But when querying Elasticsearch for the UUID b047f825-5a40-49f5-97b4-66e9efc58e86 it returns multiple results. For example:
```auto

}
}
```
Both Kibana search results and Elasticsearch url query returns the same.
Do you know what causes this?
Thank you!

It's because of the mapping and the analyzer used for the field. If you are using the default mapping, try to append the field name with `.keyword` to get exact matches.
