Keyword Data Type

The Keyword data type in Elasticsearch is used for indexing fields that contain structured, string-based data. Unlike the Text data type, Keyword fields are not analyzed or tokenized; the entire string is indexed as a single term. This makes them ideal for filtering, sorting, and exact-match queries, where you need to find documents with a specific, complete value.
