Hello. Is it possible to exact match substring of text field in kibana? I try to search "Get-System", but i get results like ![59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/6/162da552e5f67c6528b3ae402ba752b52d5a73e5.png) What ways are possible to solve the problem? I know, that it is possible to write a DSL query to elasticsearch directly - but it is not a solution for analytics.. So, what options are possible? ---

Hi @smerzlyakov! Have you tried a wildcard (\*) query without quotation marks? ---

> [@alisongoryachev](#): > > wildcard (\*) query Thanks for response, but it is DSL syntax, not Kibana KQL. I think with DSL it is better to try [match\_phrase](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-query-phrase.html) But the question is about Kibana search. Is this feature exist in KQL? If no, why?It is must-have feature! Are there another solutions?Like changing text analyzer, or maybe i can search with Lucene syntax? ---

I have try to insert this DSL in "Edit filter" in kibana -but it doesn't work. As i inspect the query - kibana modify the final query. I cant do the wildcard query in Discovery tab with Kibana? Is there any way to search exact match substring in Kibana? ---

Because i do not get an answer - i send what i found. 1. If you use wildcards - do not use " symbols. It inserts "match\_phrase" in query. Use like this fileld:get\* Good explanation here and in related paper [Wildcard query not working as expected](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/wildcard-query-not-working-as-expected/84447/4) 2. But even wildcards and regexes not working as expected. Через жопу. I found, that escaping non-letter symbols can help. So for me this query works: Text:"Get-System" also you must use escaping with the space like text:"adam\moran" ---
