Hi and welcome to our community! Could you provide some details about the string and how the data is [mapped](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping.html) in Elasticsearch? What Discover finds with the input of a single string very much depends on how the data is indexed in Elasticsearch. Could you provide some details? Thx & Best, Matthias ---

Hi Matw. We try to find some string in all indices, like in previous version of kibana , writting the string in search, but in this version is not working. ![imagen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/4/84dc49bca1a257f616039042ebd5e264b4c38927.png) Thanks ---

Sorry, I can not provide a simple DOC, i can show you that the string exist in one index and field. ![imagen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/0/00900c65582d22406dcd55589cfa5a66e645569d.png) Thanks ---

I've added the string to a new index, it's using the default mapping in this case, started to search for the field, works: ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-09-01 um 16.08.01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/b/db2be40400aa67eb995c61d7955fa7808066e09c.png) That's how it's mapped in this case, could you share your mapping? in which Kibana version did it work before ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-09-01 um 16.10.21](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/4/3462c1a9c4e8302fc82c50a4efd6f4a9ff568973.png) Thx and Best, Matthias ---
