Unexpected query_string behaviour

I'm issuing the following query:


{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {

      "query": "\"love it\""
    }
  }
}

Now - I'm expecting to only see results with phrase "love it" however the results seem to be all over the place:

"love this"
"love you"

etc.

If that helps - the field I'm searching in has "eng_analyzer" analyzer
