elasticsearchHow do I use an Elasticsearch term query?

A term query in Elasticsearch is used to search for a single term within a specific field. It is used to find exact matches of the specified term, and it is one of the most basic and commonly used queries.

Here is an example of a term query:

GET /_search
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "name": "John"
    }
  }
}

The output of the above query will be a list of documents that contain the exact term "John" in the field "name".
