You'll need to specify the field that you wish to query. Without a specific field, the query will default to all fields which will give you strange results (e.g. the IP will be tokenized into a string for string fields, and may match random things).

See the query syntax here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#\_ranges](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#_ranges)

E.g.

```auto
src_ip:[10.192.1.0 TO 10.192.1.9]

```
