Hello, 1 - Is there a way to query elasticsearch instead of aggregation from a visualization? 2 - Is it possible to get the input of the search bar and query elasticsearch with it ? 3 - How can i perform query with dynamic fields ? ---

Hi bouboune, In this gif I query for "warning" and after it completes I collapse the histogram and that shows the Request button. If you click that you can see and copy the request. Then you can go to the Dev Tools \> Console and put `GET _search` and paste that query body and execute it. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/1/318ab35f252d73726d82242c274f2f73dcd03ded.gif) I'm not sure what you mean by `dynamic fields`. Do you mean scripted fields? Regards, Lee ---

Hi, Sorry my questions was unclear, i reformulate my question. Can you nest queries, so the output of one query is the input to another query. i.e in SQL: SELECT \* FROM logs WHERE logs.UserId = (SELECT UserId FROM logs WHERE **logs.guid** ='AERGFCVeaTLKNeFge') The logs.guid in the second SELECT is the "dynamic field", in other word querys with parameters. ---

OK, now I understand. No, Kibana can't do that. You would have to write an Elasticsearch client application to do that in 2 steps. If you search for more information, you should search for `subquery`, and not `nested query`. In Elasticsearch terms they consider a `nested query` one where you are searching for `nested objects` in docs, not searching based on the results of another search. Here's another example of your question; [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28734436/what-is-the-elasticsearch-equivalent-for-an-sql-subquery](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28734436/what-is-the-elasticsearch-equivalent-for-an-sql-subquery) Regards, Lee ---
