following is my mapping

```
"tags" : {
          "properties" : {
            "zh-TW" : {
              "type" : "text",
              "fields" : {
                "keyword" : {
                  "type" : "keyword",
                  "ignore_above" : 256
                }
              }
            },

```

and when i request query like this

```
{
  "query": {
		"multi_match": {
			"query": "口罩",
			"fields":[
				"tags",
				"tags.zh-TW",
				"tags.zh-CN"
			]
		}
	}
}

```

Have a look at analyze API. It will tell you how your text is actually indexed.

If you want exact match, you can search in the `tags.zh-TW.keyword` field.
