Hi,

I have a field `case`.  
The entries of that field are for example "test/dev/bla1", "test/smth/bla", "dev/smth/..." .

Is it possible in `Explore` Tab to query for the entries which begin with "test/..." or "dev/..." ?

I would like to split the Visualizations by those features (test / dev).

Thanks.

Hi @grra,  
I am not sure what's 'Explore' Tab, can you show a screenshot?  
If it's discover or somewhere in visualization, you can query with something like this:  
`case:test or case:dev`

if you want to split a visualization by these features, use a filters aggregation in your visualization.

Thanks for quick reply,

What i mean was `Discover` Tab, sorry.

In that way, the entries are filtered which have "text" oder "dev" in any place of the value.

Is it possible to get all `case` entries which **BEGIN** with **test/**?

hey @grra, do you have 'case.keyword' field too? You need to make sure the field is searchable and aggregatable and then if it is, `case.keyword:test* or case.keyword:dev*` should work fine.
