It is clear to know that index both ways (Analyzed and not-Analyzed) could help achieve exact search and normal search on the same content. Show in the official reference: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mixing-exact-search-with-stemming.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mixing-exact-search-with-stemming.html). What if user mix search queries? for example, user type "Elastic Search" configure, double quotes means exact search, how can i implement this in elastic search? Should elastic search give you results contains Elastic Search configure, Elastic Search configuration and etc..

It sounds to me as if you are asking for [phrase searches](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/query-dsl-match-query-phrase.html), which still need analyzed fields.
