        "timestamp" : 1462984179065858
      }
    },

```

the total hits from curl is 9402

when I use "\*" in the search box from kibana ,I found the total hits is 4702,almost half of the result from console

the kibanaSavedObjectMeta.searchSourceJSON is

```auto
{
  "index": "zjh_login*",
  "filter": [],
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "query": "*",
      "analyze_wildcard": true
    }
  }
}

```

and I am sure the date range is big enough to include all the data in elastic search  
kibana 4.5.0 Commit SHA ff5cfc5  
elastic search 2.3.2  
both running in docker .  
using the image build from [docker.io](http://docker.io)  
(elastic search has only one node )

question is: why the result is not equal,it's a bug of kibana?

Hi,

I just did a comparison of my logstash data counts from the Kibana Discover tab with '\*' in search and mine matched exactly the count from a curl query.

Can you try this curl command (or paste in your browser) and see which count you get?

[http://localhost:9200/zjh\_assets\*/\_count](http://localhost:9200/zjh_assets*/_count)

Thanks,  
Lee
