For some reason the query is not included in the query sent to Elastic However "+ Add Filter" part of the query IS included in the query I had a look at the "Inspect" and it is clearly so that what ever I type in is not in the query however those added with the "+ Add Filter" is.... So like the screenshot shows, the trace\_token is working fine but the "message : timeout" is not Any ideas of why ? Someone had changed the default query language to Lucene and I changed it back to KQL Maybe there is more that I need to change back to make it work. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/d/adb55083f3dd6018dfddfe45a00f532b0d00550a.png) ---

Did you apply the KQL query by hitting the return key in the input? ---

I would say I did, but you make me weary 🙂 what if I just pressed the query button... I am pretty sure I did hit return cause I was fighting this problem for a long time... Interesting is that now a couple of days later it works just fine I am not sure what changed, there are alot of people in this environment so who knows, or if I did like you said, that would be embarrassing.... ---
