+# Constant keyword field type
+
+A constant keyword field uses the same value for all documents in the index. 
+
+When a search request spans multiple indexes, you can filter on a constant keyword field to match documents from indexes with the given constant value but not from indexes with a different value.
+
+## Example
+
+The following query creates a mapping with a constant keyword field:
+
+```json
+PUT romcom_movies
+{
+  "mappings" : {
+    "properties" : {
+      "genre" : {
+        "value" : "Romantic comedy"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+{% include copy-curl.html %}
+
+## Parameters
+
+The following table lists the parameters accepted by constant keyword field types. All values are required.
+
+Parameter | Description 
+:--- | :--- 
+`value` | The string field value for all documents in the index.
