I have been using ELK Stack and I send some various logs of different components to the Kibana under same index. I want to search data till some specific pattern. I tried using regex but that didn't work.

Ex:  
Logs: (field name: request)  
/v3.0/customers/abcd-efg-hij/sites/abcd-efg-hij/nodes  
/v3.0/customers/abcd-efg-hij/sites/abcd-efg-hij/nodes/limit/1  
/v3.0/customers/abcd-efg-hij/sites/abcd-efg-hij/nodes/details  
/v3.0/customers/abcd-efg-hij/sites/abcd-efg-hij/nodes

Now in Kibana I want to search only for those logs that are till nodes. So the count should return '2' not 4

I used this regex pattern:  
request:/.\*nodes$/  
But this returns all 4 whereas it should have returned 2(/v3.0/customers/abcd-efg-hij/sites/abcd-efg-hij/nodes)

I would recommend using the [path hierarchy tokenizer](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-pathhierarchy-tokenizer.html) on this field.
