I'm trying to query 'DestinationHostname:uvb\* OR DestinationHostname:cgb\*' .

This works against the index pattern abc\* and doesn't work in the pattern adc-def\*.

adc-def\* does contain the queried data.

Is there a reason why this wouldn't work?

What do you mean by "doesn't work"?

This is solved. The field is not analyzed, and so searches are case sensitive.
