Hello,

I've enabled AppLocker on Windows and I want to exclude some false positive based on a field named `data.win.ruleAndFileData.filePath` when it contains strings like "%OSDRIVE%\USERS\_SAM\_ACCOUNT\_NAME_\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\_SOME\_FIGURE_\GETPATHS.CMD".  
I tried to filter with simple\_query\_string, but it does not work:

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "simple_query_string" : {
        "query": "APPDATA GETPATHS.CMD",
        "fields": ["data.win.ruleAndFileData.filePath"],
        "default_operator": "and"
    }
  }
}

```
