Hi i want to write queries directly in DSL to add filters in kibana vizualisations. for eg below screen shot talks about a query which is phrase type. i achieved this by just creating one filter using the default option of (if "some field " is Equal to "some value") and then adited the filter as query dsl.

my question is can i edit this in DSL by adding some regular expression format inside it . now the current query type is phrase in this screen shot.

Regular expressions are only supported in [`regexp`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-regexp-query.html) and [`query_string`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html) queries. You cannot use regular expressions in `match` queries, though you can tweak the fuzziness settings: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-query.html#query-dsl-match-query-fuzziness](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-query.html#query-dsl-match-query-fuzziness)
