Welcome to Elastic Stack.

My suggestions assuming you are looking into queries/searches within elasticSEarch (and NOT the devops side of things)

- Watch youtube videos of elastic search queries
- Go to the development console and try out inserting data and search. `http://<yourhost>:5601/app/kibana#/dev_tools/console`
- Learn about the components ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana
- Example queries and [payload to test in your console](https://dzone.com/articles/23-useful-elasticsearch-example-queries)
- If you are familiar with SQL, then this link is a [great one with DEMO too](https://www.elastic.co/blog/an-introduction-to-elasticsearch-sql-with-practical-examples-part-1)
- Create dashboards in Kibana and try out
- Install filebeat to collect data and send it to ElasticSearch
- Install filebeat, send it to logstash, transform data and send it to ElasticSearch

This is a huge wide world and you can learn bit by bit
