Hi,  
My instance of Elasticsearch start to have a lot of recorded search object, like

- Batchs\_MyAppA\_MySpecificProcessA
- Batchs\_MyAppA\_MySpecificProcessB
- Batchs\_MyAppA\_MySpecificProcessC
- Batchs\_MyAppB\_MySpecificProcessD
- Batchs\_MyAppB\_MySpecificProcessE
- Batchs\_MyAppB\_MySpecificProcessF

Using the main search or the filter in "Saved Objects" page, I can find anything by only putting "MySpecificProcessF" even with like character : \* % ?

How to search like that, if possible ?

Hi @KolodzRelyens and welcome to the community!

We are planning to improve this experience. Please use this link for tracking:

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/149313>
>
> There are several places where the Kibana UI allows users to search over their s…aved objects:
> 1. Management
> 1. Saved objects
> 2. Data views
> 3. Tags
> 4. Cases
> 2. Dashboard list
> 3. Visualize library
> 
> We have received feedback from users that the search experience does not meet their expectations. There have also been several attempts to solve this each only making it incrementally better. This issue is to discuss how we might provide users with a world class search experience powered by the saved objects APIs.
> 
> I suggest the following steps to be able to make progress against this problem:
> 1. Identify the combination of search query, text analyser and mappings that provide the best possible search experience on the raw Elasticsearch APIs
> 2. Ensure that it's possible to use the above combination for saved object types using the server-side saved objects client.
> 3. Create a guide for teams to ensure their saved object types have everything needed to power a powerful search experience and adapt the UI if/where needed.
