I'm using Kibana edit query DSL feature to try and filter for a URL structure. I have 2 types of urls:

/products/example/example2  
/products/example

I'm trying to produce a query that will match /products/example NOT both. The query always seems to return no results but I'm 100% confident that there are results with just /products/example. Here is the query it products:

```auto
{
  "bool": {
    "must": [],
    "filter": [
      {
        "match_phrase": {
          "request.url": "/products/*"
        }
      }
    ],
    "should": [],
    "must_not": [
      {
        "match_phrase": {
          "request.url": "/products/*/*"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

```

Hi @Myles_Kingsnorth1

Did you have a keyword field for request.url? If yes, try using Wildcard query.

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must_not": [
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "request.url.keyword": "/products/*/*"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```
