Exact Phrase Match on a not_analyzed field with a space in the phrase

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to boost a query that has an exact match on a field (in this
case a name field). I've looked on Stack overflow and in this group and
all of the answers seem to be set the field to not_analyzed. I have done
this; however, it doesn't return anything when I search for a proper name.
It appears to affect anything with a space in it (I have a couple fields
that I do a similar mapping on). I have created an example of what I am
seeing here: https://gist.github.com/edwinf/d422f0e66a0022173b44. I know
I'm probably doing something very simple wrong but cannot figure it out.
Any advise would be appreciated!

Thank you
-Ed

I think you need to decide exactly how exact "exact" is.

Is it character for character? That is not_analyzed.
Is it character for character modulo case? That is the keyword analyzer
with a lower_case token filter.
Is it just the words that should match but any spaces? Can the words be in
any order? That is a phrase query on a field analyzed without stemming.
Is it ok if the words are conjugated differently so long as the words are
close enough? That is a phrase query on a field analyzed with stemming.
Is it that all the words should be there but you don't care how close they
are? That is a query with the operator set to AND.

From your list, not_analyzed is what we want (although I could also
convince them that keyword is just as good). I'm just confused as to why a
query search isn't returning any data when I have what should be an exact
match on the not_analyzed field.
