=== Term Query

Matches documents that have fields that contain a term (*not analyzed*).
The term query maps to Lucene `TermQuery`. The following matches
documents where the user field contains the term `kimchy`:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
}    
--------------------------------------------------

A boost can also be associated with the query:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "term" : { "user" : { "value" : "kimchy", "boost" : 2.0 } }
}    
--------------------------------------------------

Or :

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "term" : { "user" : { "term" : "kimchy", "boost" : 2.0 } }
}    
--------------------------------------------------
