Hello together,

i'm using Logstash in combination with ElasticSearch. I have a field from type String which is not\_analyzed. The values are containing hyphens. When i'm trying to filter with a term for this field and that value i'm not getting any results.

After reading [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/master/\_finding\_exact\_values.html](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/master/_finding_exact_values.html) i guess this should be possible. I tried the example from this answer [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11566838/elastic-search-hyphen-issue-with-term-filter](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11566838/elastic-search-hyphen-issue-with-term-filter) and it's working, so i'm not sure where the problem with the index from Logstash or my Filter is.

Field description in the index:  
"objectId":{"type":"string","norms":{"enabled":false},"fields":{"raw{"type":"string","index":"not\_analyzed","ignore\_above":256}}}

My filter query:  
curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/\_all/\_search](http://localhost:9200/_all/_search) -d '{  
"filter" : {  
"term" : {  
"objectId" : "8c9a3c20-744e-44d7-8467-621a9b461002"  
}  
}  
}'

I've found the solution myself. Logstash provides the fields analyzed and not\_analyzed in the .raw field.  
So i only have to query the objectId.raw field.
