Hello,  
is there a way to search field (for me its message in log) for mixed string with numbers such as  
`PandaJob_2797519877_1458296466`  
it returns all events with `PandaJob` but also with other numbers...  
Cheers  
AM

`fieldname: "PandaJob_2797519877_1458296466"` should work.

If you are looking for exact value you can use the .raw field name
