Hi, Is it possible to filter by an integer field? I want to do an exact value match. I have tried Elasticsearch Head to perform test queries. The integer field is indexed, but I can not perform a match to it: the option is not available, whereas it is available for the other fields. I really need to match this field (it is the organization id, which is used to split the data for our different clients). What are my options?

Yes. The option is available, but unfortunately a little bit hidden in the docs. For integers you can just use the "term" filter.
