Hi, I saw new filter ui in kibana 5.6 is very useful but i dont see option "contain" and "not contain" string in field value. It look like this: Filter all docs/event have field "Username" contain "admin". > "administrator | aaaadmin | admin123" is true Thanks! ---

At the moment, Kuery does not support wildcards, so there's no way to do a "contains" like that, only exact matches. It's apparently a known limitation, but there's not any plans right now to work on adding it, but that's not to say it won't get added. I'd encourage you to [open an issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues) asking for that functionality, so that it can be tracked and discussed. ---
