Hi, I have one field in an index that contains list of URLs. I changed the index pattern to be URL but the problem is that most of the URLS opened as relative paths although I want it to be absolute , for example if the URL is [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com) when clicking on it a page is opened with this URL:  
https:///app/%20http://www.example.algosec.com

How do I fix it and make URLs absolute?
