Use a keyword type in your mapping.  
Or use `doc_values` for this field.

You can't ask for that on a public forum manned by volunteers.

Read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part.

It's fine to answer on your own thread after 2 or 3 days (not including weekends) if you don't have an answer.
