## Hi everyone, I am new to Elasticsearch, and using ES 5.1.1. When I create a Map for my type, I set property "index" of a text field to "not\_analyzed", but when I try to query document using term filter, it did not return any matched documents, or when I test the mapping, the text is split. Could anyone please help me out of this? Thanks in advance.

## **I create a mapping:** PUT /gb { "mappings": { "tweet": { "properties": { "tag": { "type": "text", "index": "not\_analyzed" } } } } }

**I add a document**  
PUT gb/tweet/1  
{  
"tag": "Black-cats"  
}

* * *

**I query document using term filter: return no documents**  
GET gb/tweet/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"term": {  
"tag": "Black-cats"  
}  
}  
}

* * *

**I test the mapping: didn't return 1 term, but 2 (black, and cat)**  
GET gb/\_analyze  
{  
"field": "tag",  
"text": ["Black-cats"]  
}

Try with type: keyword instead.

Index: not\_analyzed is deprecated but it should do the same thing. Might be a bug. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-index.html)
