What's wrong with this query, it doesn't work if I only supply one character

[Aaron Lewis]

Hi,

I imported a sample data:

{
    "account_number": 0,
    "balance": 16623,
    "firstname": "Bradshaw",
    "lastname": "Mckenzie",
    "age": 29,
    "gender": "F",
    "address": "244 Columbus Place",
    "employer": "Euron",
    "email": "bradshawmcken...@euron.com",
    "city": "Hobucken",
    "state": "CO"
}

Now, this query returns empty result (expected);

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/bank/_search?pretty' -d '
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        { "match": { "age": "29" } }
      ],
      "must_not": [
        { "match": { "city": "Hobucken" } }
      ]
    }
  }
}'

But if I replace the "city" part with "H" or "Ho" etc. It doesn't return 
the expected empty result, why is that?

It only works with full word, why is that?
