Query Dsl Term

Frequently used to match on exact value
Equivalent of sql statement:

select * from orders where id = "1"

Example

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/orders/orders/_search?pretty=true' \
  -H 'content-type:application/json' \
  -d '{
  "query" : {
    "term": {
      "id": "1"
    }
  }
}'

Note that 'from orders' part of the statement is part of the url rather than body
Capable of handling numbers, booleans, dates, and text.
Often used as a filter rather than for scoring, commonly used with constant_score:

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/orders/orders/_search?pretty=true' \
  -H 'content-type:application/json' \
  -d '{
  "query" : {
    "constant_score" : { 
      "filter" : {
        "term": {
          "id": "1"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}'
