Hi Everybody !

I create a topic since I can't find a response anywhere,  
I have trouble using a query term with a term wich value contains è

Here is an expemple, in Kibana console

```auto
GET index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "terms": {
      "caracteristiques_tech.couleur": ["blanc"] 
    }
  }
}

```

It find the documents,  
then with a document where couleur is crème, then I do

```auto
GET index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "terms": {
      "caracteristiques_tech.couleur": ["cr&egrave;"] 
    }
  }
}

```

But it find anything !  
Then if I search

```auto
GET index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "terms": {
      "caracteristiques_tech.couleur": ["cr"] 
    }
  }
}

```

I will find the document with couleur = crè  
It's like elastic search ignore text after &

Did someone ever experience this ?  
Thanks you very much  
Sorry for bad english,
