Hi all,

I have opened a Topic in Kibana forum but I didn't find the solution, somebody advise me to ask some help in elasticsearch forum.

If somebody have an idea :

By default, wildcard terms are lowercased. Because your `short_message` field is not\_analyzed, a wildcard query with an uppercase I will not match any results (Elasticsearch will search for a lowercase i and not find _internal_ with a lowercase i). Setting `lowercase_expanded_terms` to `false` in Kibana's `query:queryString:options` under Advanced Settings will resolve this.

You also need to change the default value of `analyze_wildcard` to `false` for the same reason.

The resulting value for the `query:queryString:options` setting in Kibana will look like this: `{ "analyze_wildcard": false, "lowercase_expanded_terms": false}`
