Is it faster to filter an integer compared to a string in ElasticSearch?

I have 3 elements of the archetype in my application, Weapon, Armour, Misc.

A user can search only one category at a time. So, I was wondering whether or not to index the archetype as an integer (0, 1, 2) or as a string "weapon", "armour", "misc"?

I am using a logical query. Will it be faster to filter by integer, string, or is there almost no difference?

No difference.

Make sure that this is actually the filter you are using. It will then be cached as a bitmap and used just as quickly for later use.
