Not exactly. You need to define an analyzer first. Then use the analyzer in your mapping.  
Then you can try just with a `term` or `match` query instead of a `prefix` query.

If you need further help, please provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer.
