Hi Nikolas,

I assume you're using the KQL search bar at the top? Searches against keyword fields (\*.keyword in the Discover search bar, or with a k next to them in the Discover field list) will be case sensitive. Meanwhile \*.text fields are case insensitive.

Do you have a particular example you are struggling with?

@Nikolas1306 Kibana case sensitive search you can perform using KQL in the search bar at the top.
