Elasticsearch reference gives a good example to combine 2 indices between tweets and users.  
GET /tweets/\_search  
{  
"query" : {  
"terms" : {  
"user" : {  
"index" : "users",  
"type" : "user",  
"id" : "2",  
"path" : "followers"  
}  
}  
}  
}

I have similar query and want to monitor the change daily, is it possible to visualize this kind of query in kibana?

Thanks,  
Shun

let's follow the reference you pasted:

in kibana i go to `Dev Tools` and execute the following two queries:

```auto
PUT /users/user/2
{
    "followers" : ["1", "3"]
}

PUT /tweets/tweet/1
{
    "user" : "1"
}

```

you could try adding more users and tweets ...

then go to `Management`/`Index Patterns` and add two new index patterns: `users` and `tweets`.

now go to the `Discover` and select `tweets` index pattern and enter this into your search:

`{"terms":{"user":{"id":"2","index":"users","path":"followers","type":"user"}}}`

you can `Save` this search now and use it in visualizations.

Thank you, it is great, this shows me the light of dawn.  
Further, I want to sum up each user by id and draw the increasing/decreasing trends daily in a chart.
