How to do case insensitive search on terms?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I assume you use the standard analyzer which uses by default a token filter
"lowercase".

Just use a custom analyzer, without "lowercase" token filter, and you will
get case-sensitive search.

Using ES 1.3.2

The current application I'm building only uses term queries for exact
matches.

Example query

"query": {
"term": {
"logType": "abc"
}

The field logType is pulled from external DB as all caps so for instance
ABC

If i send the query

"query": {
"term": {
"logType": "ABC"
}

I get no results.

If I send the query

"query": {
"term": {
"logType": "abc"
}

I get results.

So does this mean I need to toLower the input before building the query or
there's an ES way of doing this?

Thanks
