@warkolm I migrated my cluster fro ES 2.4 and Kibana 4.6 to ES & Kibana 5.2.  
I recreated all the indexes and restored the data exactly as it was in ES-2.4 and restored the data.

I did setup the Kibana 5.2 as well, it is talking to my new ES 5.2 instance.  
All my indexes with data are appearing in the discover tab. I also restored the .kibana index with searches, Visualizations and Dashboards.  
They are all showing up in the new Kibana 5.2.  
But when i try to open a Visualization it complains.

`There is a problem with this saved object The saved search associated with this object no longer exists. If you know what this error means, go ahead and fix it — otherwise click the delete button above.`

I am sure i have the "search"available and loaded in Kibana. But the Visualization is unable to locate the searchid.

`Could not locate that search (id: xxxxxyyyy)`

I tried, tried and tried, NONE of the searches restored from the .Kibana Index work in the Kibana 5.2.  
Even i tried saving the search in a new name and edited the Visualization to reflect the new search name..  
But,, again. the visualization is unable to locate the search//

Keeps throwing the same error over and over again. I restarted the Kibana instance, cleared the browser cache.. etc., nothing works.  
This seems to be a bug in version 5.

Because,

**The savedSearchId column in the Kibana 4.6 Visualization stores it as plain text, where as in Kibana 5.x savedSearchId is a random generated number because of which the Visualization is unable to locate that search**

Can someone review this please?
