Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

Please edit your post.

You can change the analyzer or the type of the field. For example, use a `keyword` type instead of `text`.  
If you are using all defaults, then you can probably do:

```auto
GET _search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "name.keyword": "3g"
    }
  }
}

```

Thank you very much for your help.  
I use `name.keyword` seems not work,  
But I use kibana find a hint `.raw` seems work.

I believe you'd better provide your own mapping instead of relying on default mapping.

The default `foo.raw` subfield was an old one. Default moved to `foo.keyword` in more recent versions.
