All data for Kibana is stored in the Elasticsearch `.kibana` index. You can use the Elasticsearch API to fetch the data. For example: `http://localhost:9200/.kibana/search/_search?pretty=true&q=*` will display all saved searches.

Within the response, `searchSourceJSON` is a JSON encoded object from which you can use the `index` and `query` to then query Elasticsearch directly.
