Hi Jim,

I encountered the same issue, not sure if the approach is right, but I mapped the fields to keywords, or use the raw multifield mapping,

```auto
PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "my_type": {
      "properties": {
        "city": {
          "type": "text",
          "fields": {
            "raw_city": { 
              "type": "keyword"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/multi-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/multi-fields.html)

and it worked for me.

Hope this helps you too

Best,  
J
