I have a field : **presentation\_title** that I set to **"not\_analyzed"**.  
I did this so I could sort in Kibana.

Problem is, I am unable to FULLY search the data.  
For example, I have a title: **Disparities\_in\_Lung\_Cancer**

With the current settings, I can only search for this title by matching the first few letters of the title.  
I cannot get a match by searching for **Lung**.

Any suggestions on how to handle this?

Hi,

You could try using [multi-fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/multi-fields.html) so you could have a not analyzed field (presentation\_title.raw) and an analyzed one (presentation\_title).

Then you just have to sort by "presentation\_title.raw" and search by "presentation\_title".

Hope that helps

Oddly, the data is sorting now.  
But I will consider your suggestion.
