Hello  
I am a beginner in elastic  
I want to ask can I transform an advanced search of elasticsearch indices in kibana Dev Tools into a dashboard  
for example can I transform this get into a kibana dashboard or to a more lisible way, not a response in a json format

```auto
GET /rank-feature-test/_search
{
 "query": {
   "bool": {
     "must": [
       {
         "match": {
           "content": "2016"
         }
       }
     ],
     "should": [
       {
         "rank_feature": {
           "field": "pagerank"
         }
       },
       {
         "rank_feature": {
           "field": "url_length",
           "boost": 0.1
         }
       },
       {
         "rank_feature": {
           "field": "topics.sports",
           "boost": 0.4
         }
       }
     ]
   }
 }
}

```

You can use custom Elasticsearch queries via the vega visualization: [Vega | Kibana Guide [8.3] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega.html)
