Such as url `index-0/_search?routing=24320`,i search data from `24230` `routing`,but the result is

```
"_index": "index-0",
"_type": "member",
"_id": "40865630",
"_score": 1,
"_routing": "22500",

```

Why `22500` match the search condition?

you can use this instead:

```auto
POST index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "_routing": {
        "value": "VALUE"
      }
    }
  }
}

```
