What is the proper way to eliminate non matching terms, IE elastic is returning F-450, E-150 when searching F-150.

Without knowing your mapping I would guess this is down to tokenizing, as the string probably is split into F and 150. I would try to set the field you are searching on to not analyzed, that should solve your problem. Am Montag, 4.
