Hi
I'm not totally sure what you are asking for, but my guess would be that
the problem is that your query gets analyzed so the '=' sign is removed.
You can try to use a term query[1] which is a query type that doesn't
analyze the query and treats it as a single term. In order to use it,
please make sure that the field you are searching on is not analyzed[2].
