Hi Guys,

I want to perform a search to Es from kibana which includes few words and  
then it should find out all the sentnces with my search string present in  
it.

EG- Search String=== 'transit department reverted'\*

No I am looking for all the records which has a string 'transit department  
reverted'.

Looking for some quick response.

Thanks a lot.

Regards  
Dharmendra

If it helps, you can phrase search by surrounding your text with double  
quotes:

"transit department reverted"

The query string also supports regular expressions if needed (documented  
here - scroll down a bit):
