Have you tried searching for only the last portion, **DataNotFoundException**?

My guess is that you've set up your Elasticsearch mappings in such a way that when you search, you're searching against an analyzed field, which breaks up the message field into tokens. Can you provide your Elasticsearch mapping as well?

it worked when i searched with 'com.clarify.api.exception.DataNotFoundException'.  
i guess its taking 'com.clarify.api.exception.DataNotFoundException' a single enitity.
