Hello,

I have the following fields trytime2018 & TRYTIME2018 that show up in one of my access logs. I want to search ONLY for TRYTIME2018 ... I have tried to use the query "TRYTIME2018" as well as message:"TRYTIME2018", but Kibana returns both types lowercase and uppercase.

Is there a way i can filter on just the UPPERCASE TRYTIME2018 ?

Thanks
