I am having hard time with fulltext search for number search. Below is the mentioned scenario.

Mappings :

"licenseNum": {  
"type": "string",  
"analyzer": "keyword"  
}

Sample data which is stored in licenseNum field are **AX101** , **450CB** , 9999, etc. I am able to do fulltext search for AX101 & 450CB **but not able to search 9999.**

**I have tried this with not analyzed & numeric\_detection : false , but had no luck.**

Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks,  
Ankit
