REST vs URL searching - what's the difference in this query?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

This works in a browser and finds tens of thousands of records:

http://localhost:9200/accountevents/_search?q=Medium:SMS

This cmd finds nothing:

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/accountevents/_search' -d '{
"query": {
"term": {
"Medium": "SMS"
}
}
}'

We can't work out what the difference is. Can someone point it out to us?

Thanks,

James

You are using a query_string query in the first query, and a term query in
the second query.

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-term-query.html#query-dsl-term-query

Instead of a term query you might want to use a match query, because this
works on analyzed fields.
