Hi Anderson

Setting it to not\_analyzed may be the way to go, but there are other  
approaches too.

For instance, right now a search for "john doe" won't match "John Doe". If  
that's what you want, then that's fine.

Alternatively, you could leave the field as analyzed, and change your  
search to:

```
{ match: {
    name: {
        query: "john doe",
        operator: "and"
   }
}

```

which will only match names that have both "john" and "doe" in them
