How to perform exact match on wildcard field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

We used the following query to get exact match on wildcard field:

"query_string": {
"query": ""abcddd"",
"fields": [
"*.Name"
]
}
}

but it returned results also for values, such as: abc, abcd, etc...

Does anyone has an idea how to get an exact match in such case? We tried to
add "analyzer:simple", but it made things worse and sometimes didn't return
results at all.

Many thanks.

Hi,
I think the behaviour you see depends on your current mapping. Are you
maybe indexing some of the fields using ngrams?
Also, I don't quite get what you're trying to do with the quotation marks.
Usually they are used with phrase queries, when you have multiple terms in
order to say that those terms need to be close to each others.

Could you please post your mapping and clarify what you're trying to
achieve?
