I know of two methods (and would be happy to hear comments or additions): 1) index the field as a Keyword. The only result of querying this will be exact (character-by-character identical) matches. You can index the field both as Keyword and as Text if you wish, and construct a query that attempts both the exact and inexact match, with appropriate weights. 2) A bit of a hack perhaps, but effective: index the field as "zgzgl text of field zgzgl", and query for the phrase "zgzgl text of query zgzgl". "zgzgl" here stands for some token that doesn't otherwise occur in your data. Any matches to this phrase, then, are guaranteed to be matches to complete document fields, but with accommodation for stopwords, stemming, or whatever your Analyzer does. Add slop to the phrase query if you wish, and again, you can attach appropriate weights to this and combine with other techniques.
