Hi @Mohan_T,

Can you share the index mapping, especially the type of field `s_title`? Is it defined as `keyword` or `text` type?

Thanks for sharing. For an exact match I would use the keyword field rather than the text field. Can you adapt your query and see if that gives you the results you're looking for?

Yes, it wouldn't give that result. It would match exactly to the term _italian marble flooring_. That's because the keyword field is not analyzed, so it doesn't undergo stemming or the other analysis steps.

Can you explain what you expect to see for the query _italian marbles flooring_? I wonder if changing the type of field `keyword_custom` is what you're looking for since it's currently listed as a `text` type.
