Hi, Is a "indexed or refenrced" search possible in Kibana? I'd like to enter a search for a term and use the contents of another field of the result as the search term for the search that is displayed to the user. Example: I'd like to search for the mail address in postfix logs, get contents of the postfix queue ID field and display all documents that include that ID. Thanks for any hints.

You'd have to use a script for this, there isn't this sort of functionality native to ES at this stage.
