After I had a look at this [post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/match-vs-term-query-on-keyword-datatype/82952), I thought i was dumb

But with the following test, play it in the given order, I think the term query does some normalization even if it should not on a 5.2.2 Elastcisearch installation

Am I wrong ?

Thanks
