I'm using the C# library to query a string in my cluster, but keep getting back results thats outside the string i want to search for. I basically want something on the lines of 'Select \* where field = 'some value'

In fluent, how is this accomplished cause my test arent retrieving the desired results. also, how can one use the .keyword ext?

This is what i currently have...  
.Query(q =\> q  
.Bool(m =\> m  
.Must(t =\> t  
.Match(f =\> f.Query(nsID).Field(fie =\> fie.nS2ID).Operator(Operator.And)) && ,,,,,

I just want to search for documents in the NS2ID field that matches the nsID i pass it.

Any insight would be helpful

Thanks,
