I have an field called "ip" being of type "ip".

When I search using the API, I can enter

```auto
    GET mbp_ip/_search
    {
      "query": {
        "term": {
          "ip": "88.198.248.0/24"
        }
      }
    }

```

But I struggle to find the correct syntax for a Kibana Query Language search.

Seems simple

```auto
ip: 88.198.248.0/24

```

will do. ☹ So easy. No quotes…
