I would like to know if we have option to stop the search. Like if I search for some ip/name anything and if it is taking much time then do we have option to stop from kibana and re-start search. Not from cli but from kibana like stop/run like in other siem vendors.

Most queries in Kibana are automatically cancelled if you send a new query, which also cancels the Elasticsearch task on each shard. Also navigating away from a page will generally cancel the queries. There is no pause/stop button, but I have opened this issue to track it:
