Hi,

I have and index with several hundreds fields per document, and it is impossible to remember all of them, especially since the fields names are case sensitive in Kibana.  
Is it possible for Kibana to autocomplete the fields names as i type them in the search box?  
If not, does anyone have the same issue as i have? would you like to share tips on how you approach this issue?

Thanks!  
Ofer

Hi,

thanks..  
i actually found a workaround to my own question.  
i created an index that contain unique values of the filters that i want, and created for each one of them a pie chart with unique count.  
Now i can just click on any of the slices, and i have a list of the available values in front of me.
