Please provide me solution for case insensitive search on keyword field. Like if I am searching for ajit it should display AJIT and all ajit available in elasticsearch data. Currently it giving me exact match.

I was facing same issue and I used a custom analyser to fix it. More details are on my blog [https://pranavprakash.net/2017/09/13/case-insensitive-exact-match-search-in-elasticsearch/](https://pranavprakash.net/2017/09/13/case-insensitive-exact-match-search-in-elasticsearch/)
