Hello to all, I need a query to search for an email. I tried using the query and match query term. But I did not get the results I expected. For example, I tried to search for 'tiago@email.com', match query gives me the results that have 'tiago' ('tiago@hotmail.com', 'tiago@gmail.com') or have @email.com ('name@email.com', 'mark@email.com'). The query term does not give any results. I ready for change the mapping, but i have a lot of docs, i think this is not the best option for me. Thanks for any help and sory my poor english. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I have found the answer and i wish to share. I just need to pass the 'type' : 'phrase' on match query or just use ' match\_phrase' query. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Alternatively, if you want to preserve email address and web urls, you can use the uax\_url\_email tokenizer and then term and match queries should work without any problems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
