Hello All, How to perform an\* Exact Text Search\*, for example in the below 3 json docs how can I search for the word "#Twitter" which should bring only doc1 and doc2, "Twitter" - only doc3 "Elastic Search" as one single word - only in doc1 {"Name": "Doc1","postDate": "2012-10-10T12:29:00","Category": "#Twitter messages ","Body":"this is a sample Elastic Search"}' {"Name": "Doc2","postDate": "2012-10-10T12:29:00","Category": "#Twitter tweetsssssss","Body":"ElasticSearch is Awesome"}' {"Name": "Doc3","postDate": "2012-10-10T12:29:00","Category": "Esearch","Body":"Twitter tweet , search"}' I have tried using the Type:Phrase, and Also "Term":"Twitter "but this dint work. curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/Index/Type/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/Index/Type/_search?pretty=true)' -d '{"query":{"match":{"\_all":{"query":""Elastic Search"","type":"phrase"}}}}' Any help would be much appreciated.

David. that will not work, he will have to search for the entire field to find a result, e.g. "query": "Elasticsearch is Awesome".

Hi Guys, I have tried the below query and it DINT work ☹ curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/Index/Type/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/Index/Type/_search?pretty=true)' -d '{"query":{"match":{"\_all":{"query":""Elastic Search"","type":"phrase"},"\_analyzer":"whitespace"}}}' Apologize if I am doing a blunder here, and also would like to use "\_all" as my field.

Hi, Itamar mean you need to use WhitespaceAnalyzer at index time. The standard analyzer tokenize on whitespace and on symbol and so remove them. You can test the behavior or analyzer by using Analyze API > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

Hi Guys, I've came across a good article: [http://paulsabou.com/blog/2012/03/25/advanced-exact-matching-with-elastic-search/](http://paulsabou.com/blog/2012/03/25/advanced-exact-matching-with-elastic-search/) As mentinoed in the article: "_configure the index schema so that the “name” field is never tokenized_" Is it a good thing to configure the index schema so that the "\_source" field is never tokenized ??? willl this work for the Exact Text search ?
