I can retrieve documents when discovering with _index:logstash-1480234219918 query in the search bar, but no document can be fetched when discovering with _index:logstash-current query.
Can Kibana fetch documents from an alias name as an _index value?
No, that won't work unfortunately. _index is a part of the document itself, so even if you query the alias you'll see that the _index meta field in each hit still refers to the concrete index.
