Dear @stephenb

That is excellent! Thanks! As you probably have guessed I am looking for am automated way to convert KQL to Lucene =)

Ideally I would prefer [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/plans-for-kql-support-in-kibana-stack-alert-elasticsearch-query/290381), and second an official API to convert KQL to Lucene, but I haven't been able to find such. Do you know if there is a feature request to implement an API for this?

I have never tried to crawl a React app (Kibana) before, so that should be interesting if nothing else =)

Hugs,  
Sandra =)
