Kibana 7.6.1 How Does Discover's Search Bar Work

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi, I'm trying to integrate SQL as an alternative option to KQL in the discover search bar. Essentially redirecting inputed queries and POST them to hostname:9200/_opendistro/_sql

It seems call_client.ts in the Kibana source code sends the inputed query to ElasticSearch, but I can't find the implementation on how it is sent. I really appreciate any help or suggestions.

Before you venture into this , have you checked out if ES-SQL works for you? Elasticsearch SQL, you can access that full text search, blazing speed, and effortless scalability with a familiar query syntax. Here is a blog post about it https://www.elastic.co/blog/an-introduction-to-elasticsearch-sql-with-practical-examples-part-1

Let us know if this is what you were looking for.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply! I'm aware of the Elasticsearch SQL, but I do want to see if it's possible to change where inputted queries in the discover search bar are sent.
