i want to get exact record from elasticsearch which field name should be exactly match with input query  
name.

for example:  
I am having record with name: "raj kumar fillings", while i am trying to get record with name:"raj" (only) then ES giving its output as "raj kumar fillings" record. Can anyone explain me what happening here?  
Thanks in Advacne

Change the mapping for your field and use a keyword type or a keyword analyzer.

If you don't know what analyzers are here is some documentation: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/analysis.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/analysis.html)
