Hi,

I wanted to try out x-pack graph. So I created an index, and filled it with a bunch of dummy data. It consists of 10 _reports_, each containing a title, description and a list of measures. The description is identical across all reports and some of the have the same measures as well. I figured this should be enough similarity to explore them in graph.

 ![template_data](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/0/d03c106757bdc048b093867196da06a2e48662c3.png)

But I ran into a problem: no matter what I do, no vertices show up in graph. I tried the tips in [Graph Troubleshooting | Kibana User Guide [6.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.2/graph-troubleshooting.html) but couldnt get it to work.

This is one of my requests:

> "field": "measures",  
> "size": 5,

response:

> "took": 0,  
> "timed\_out": false,  
> "failures": ,

What am I missing? Why are there no vertices and edges showing up?

Your query matches nothing. Try search for `*`

Thanks a lot, I thought I was doing a star search already. Probably because _Discover_ does a star search if nothing is selected.
