Hi i have a brand\_name field and its values are like "Hello World" means have spaces in between  
i dont want to analyze it for exact matching

```
"brand_name" => [
                        "type" => "text",                          
                        "fields" => [
                           "keyword" => [
                               "type" => "keyword"
                           ]
                       ]
                    ]

Hi,

You can search on brand\_name.keyword. As stated in the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/keyword.html) "Keyword fields are only searchable by their exact value." 😉

Best regards,
