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"
