Search across all fields on Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
4

You can just put your query string in the KQL bar without a field name and it will search across all fields. You can see this by clicking inspect and request to see how it converts it to DSL.

The end result looks like this minus all the other options passed in.

GET kibana_sample_data_logs/_search
{
  "query": {
    "multi_match": {
      "query": "Query String Goes Here"
    }
  }
}

So it's the same as above except using multi_match vs simple_query_string.
