I want create filter in Kibana what contains specials characters in string.

This filter want search URL's contains parameters in plain text.

Example URL = [https://example.com/test.zul?param1=123&param2=456](https://example.com/test.zul?param1=123&param2=456)

The query defined an string value is "[https://example.com/test.zul?param1=123&param2=456](https://example.com/test.zul?param1=123&param2=456)" but at moment of search requests that containt this specials characters like ":", "/", "?" not parse this.

Wait for your help, thanks.
