I am new to Kibana. I am doing some search in 'Discover' and plotting them in 'Visualize'. For a task I need to filter out a field which is floating point. However, when I search using the floating point in discover, kibana returns no result.

For example:  
`my_field: <= 6.66`

then there is no result. However, if I search with integer value like

`my_field: <= 6`

Only then I get search result. However, my\_field has floating point values in the returned result.

So my question is how can I search using floating point value in kibana ?
