When using the Kibana discover module to search data, the system will automatically ignore the case of the input string, how to make the system do not ignore the case, that is: when I enter "INFO", only match the information related to "INFO", and Will not match to "info"?

@wuwenjie_cn is the field you're searching against a [keyword](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/keyword.html) or [text](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/text.html) field? Keyword fields will support exact matching, including case, but text fields go through the analyzer.
