Exact match in the filter query

Hi friends,

I am making my python script to query es to search Linux syslog.

the script sends the following query.

{'query': {'bool': {'filter': [{'query_string': {'query': 'oom-killer AND exim'}}, {'range': {'@timestamp': {'time_zone': '+10:00', 'lte': 'now/d', 'gte': 'now-2d/d'}}}, {'term': {'host': '172.17.47.16'}}]}}, 'size': 500, 'sort': [{'@timestamp': {'order': 'asc'}}, {'@timestamp': {'order': 'asc'}}]}

and I get the following 2 results.

2019-09-19 07:43:58.997: 172.17.47.16: <22>Sep 19 07:43:57 relay1 exim[15865]: 2019-09-19 07:43:57 [15865] H=(WIN-PIBB3MI829B) [119.111.123.123]:56428 I=[119.111.123.123]:25 incomplete transaction (connection lost) from <killer@com.au>

I was expecting exact match of search word "oom-killer AND exim" in syslog message but results don't have word oom-killer but Killer and killer.
If I used term instead of query_string it would be exact match but you can't use AND, OR in term.

How can you make exact match query with AND/OR statement?

Thanks for your help in advance.

You can surround your search terms by quotes. So, search for:

"oom-killer" AND "exim"

Thanks abdon,
Yeah, now I can get expected results with "".
