Hi,

Are you trying to search on your field or create filters in Kibana?  
Also which version of the stack are you on?

Kibana has something called KQL and then you can also use Lucene to search in Kibana.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/lucene-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/lucene-query.html)

Can you please post the full error log here?

Thanks,  
Bhavya
