Hi Tanya,

Even I had the same question , ([Can we add our own JSON format query and use it in Kibana?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/can-we-add-our-own-json-format-query-and-use-it-in-kibana/26454)). Actually what we want is we want to run the following command which is in JSON format in Kibana search bar .

{"index":"class\_detail","query":{"query\_string":{"query":"\*","analyze\_wildcard":true}},"filter":[]}

Now question would be why we need to run the above JSON query , we are aware that in search bar we can only run normal key value format search , something like "Name":"vikas". Now I want to apply deep search , so for that I have to design a JSON query which provide us more detailed data . So is it possible to use such query ?
