Hi,I wanted to know how to get the exact matched documents as I am getting approximate value matching ,like I have written query:  
{  
"query": {  
"nested": {  
"path": "Trips",  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"term": {  
"Trips.Employees.Source\_Geocode": "17.328375,78.587532"  
}  
},  
{  
"term": {  
"Trips.Employees.Source\_Geocode": "17.329349,78.595693"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

but I am also getting value for 17.4523... like that.

is geocode a geo point? or a string? or a number array? What kind of field is this? Is it sufficient to just create a keyword field (which does not make much sense for any other kind of query like a range query). And what resembles an exact query/result set? If you had a couple of example documents (including mapping) this might be easier to follow and others are able to create a full reproduction.

For now ,it is string.And for exact search means I want value which I have given to match .If it is not clear,let me know.Bdw ,thanks for the reply.

See my answer above. You can use a `keyword` field in the mapping for exact string matching and use a `term` filter.

If you dont share a full reproduction, it is basically impossible to help.

See [https://www.elastic.co/help](https://www.elastic.co/help)
