 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +<<query-dsl-range-query,`range`>> queries. However, <<keyword,`keyword`>> fields
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +are better for <<query-dsl-term-query,`term`>> and other

				|  |  | +Identifiers, such as an ISBN or a product ID, are rarely used in `range`
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +queries. However, they are often retrieved using term-level queries.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +Consider mapping a numeric identifier as a `keyword` if:
 |

 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +* You don't plan to search for the identifier data using 
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  <<query-dsl-range-query,`range`>> queries.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +* Fast retrieval is important. `term` query searches on `keyword` fields are
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +  often faster than `term` searches on numeric fields.

				|  |  | +If you're unsure which to use, you can use a <<multi-fields,multi-field>> to map
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +the data as both a `keyword` _and_ a numeric datatype.
