When I go to Observability-Uptime-Monitors and I type in a name in the search, the search ignores digits in the search.  
Example:  
abc1234def  
abcdef  
abcdef56  
78abcdef  
all give the same search result.

Why is the search ignoring numbers/digits in the search?

Regards

Matthias

Hi @mbby ,

What stack version do you use?  
I just tried search for synthetics monitors and search is matching query: `<kibana_url>/app/synthetics/monitors?query=west-1`:

aws-eu-west-1 - oblt  
aws-eu-west-1 - sec

Can you share kibana url in your browser window (don't forget to redact hostname) ?

Regards, Dima
