I'm trying to figure out the best way to check for equality on a numeric field in a filter. (I'm using a custom\_filters\_score query, and I want to boost documents by a specific amount if they have a certain value in a certain numeric field) There's a 'match' query, but no 'match' filter, at least according to the docs. Do I have to use numeric\_range, and just set the 'from' and the 'to' accordingly? Thanks, Dan -- ---

You can use term filter and numeric\_range filter.
