How to make elastic search ignore delimiter

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

ES Noob posting his first question here. I've ingested some text documents into ES using FS Crawler. When I try to run a match query in elastic search for a piece of text like "aaa-bbb", I notice that elastic search breaks it using the "-" as a delimiter while searching. Is there a way to make ES ignore the delimiter and do an exact match?

Welcome!

That's a question of text analysis. You need to understand how analyzers are actually working. Under the chapter I linked to you have a lot of resources which are super useful to build the right analyzer for your use case.
