I'm trying to search strings that are similar to domain names using a simple query string but it's not returning anything.

Example: the text contains [google.com](http://google.com). If I search google, Elasticsearch won't return anything. But if I search google\* it returns the document that i'm searching for.

Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
