The text family includes the following field types:
text, the traditional field type for full-text content such as the body of an email or the description of a product.match_only_text, a variant oftextfield type with limited functionality. Scoring is always disabled and thestandardanalyzer is always used. It suited for match only free text uses cases. Meaning that the fact that there is a match is important, but scoring and where the match happens is not relevant. Note that positional queries are possible, but are slow.pattern_text, a variant oftextwhich is optimized for space efficient storage of log messages. Pattern text reduces space usage for messages that contain many repeated sequences, like the explanatory text of a log message. Pattern text also disables scoring, but unlikematch_only_text, positional data can be stored for fast phrase queries.
