Please update your post. > [@KRISHNA\_SINHA](#): > > Why is searching CM5 when I give search criteria as cm5 and not as CM5? Because you are using a `term` query on a `text` field which is analyzed at index time and probably transform to `cm5`. `CM5` is not `cm5` that's why a term query can't find `CM5`. You need to change the mapping of you want to make it work with `CM5`. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/terms-query-is-not-working-in-elasticsearch-7-1-0-and-7-2-0/189749)._
