Hello : Had a question around how to search against TWO subtypes in the same index?  
This is my index setup:  
myindex/calldata  
myindex/customerdata

a call data has a field called message which looks like this : `{ callerid : abcd, file=123}`  
customerdata looks like thjis : `{customerid : aabbcc, file=123}`

There is a common field **file** as shown above to both types calldata and customerdata  
I would like to do a search like this:  
"Get me all calldata and customerdata where calldata has some callerid ABCD1234"

How would I do this?

@titan1978 are you attempting to search using Discover, or create a Visualization against that field? Also which version of Kibana are you using?

@titan1978 in 5.5 you should be able to use Visualize and Discover seamlessly across types that share a common field. If you go to Management -\> Index Patterns and select your Index Pattern, do you see the file field listed? What happens when you try to Search/Visualize against this common field?
