Kibana 7.17.28 (yes, I know.)
In the Stack Management > Saved Objects section there is a Search field. I want to search for objects of type url with a given Title, or even a given id attribute which I've extracted from exported JSON. I've tried various query formats but none of them work and I can't find any information about what the Search field accepts.
What do I put in the Search field here:
to make it so that the list contains just the object with a Title of /goto/85bd3490-4814-11ef-9f7b-67a2b5099a35 ?
Hello @mikewillis
1. via API using DevTools
`GET kbn:/api/saved_objects/url/85bd3490-4814-11ef-9f7b-67a2b5099a35`
Export the URL objects in single file & search the string you need , it will show the count of occurrence
On GUI filter for type URL than do control-F on Chrome & search the ID
Thanks!!

Thanks, those are all potentially useful, but none of them are an answer to the question I asked.

Hello @mikewillis
I believe that search is not possible as it contains - as part of the ID.

There are several places where the Kibana UI allows users to search over their s… aved objects:
1. Management
1. Saved objects
2. Data views
3. Tags
4. Cases
2. Dashboard list
3. Visualize library
We have received feedback from users that the search experience does not meet their expectations. There have also been several attempts to solve this each only making it incrementally better. This issue is to discuss how we might provide users with a world class search experience powered by the saved objects APIs.
I suggest the following steps to be able to make progress against this problem:
1. Identify the combination of search query, text analyser and mappings that provide the best possible search experience on the raw Elasticsearch APIs
2. Ensure that it's possible to use the above combination for saved object types using the server-side saved objects client.
3. Create a guide for teams to ensure their saved object types have everything needed to power a powerful search experience and adapt the UI if/where needed.

Feature:Saved Objects
**Describe the bug:**
According to the documentation [1], the `search` proper… ty in the saved object find options is supposed to support Elasticsearch simple query string [2] syntax. However, the saved object finder doesn't properly parse and send the query you type in when using negated syntax.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Install sample data
2. Go to Stack Management > Saved Objects
3. Try to filter out results by putting a `-` in front of a clause
The clause ends up being filtered *for*, rather than *against*.

**Any additional context:**
It looks like the bug might be where we use only the text portion of the query and ignore the "must_not" portion of the generated AST [3].
