I am a non-coder musicologist using Elastic to search and visualize a large music-related dataset. I would like to tune search on my full text fields. Tuning search is straightforward in app search and in the dev tools console. But I cannot find a way to tune search on an uploaded index such that the changes are reflected in discover queries and in graph analysis. I suspect the answer is so obvious I can't see it. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Hi @amcgrawRVA , welcome to the Elastic community!

I think your question has to do with Kibana, so I'm changing the question category.

Discover and Graph Analysis uses [KQL](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kuery-query.html) or [Lucene syntax](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/lucene-query.html) to do queries, not directly App Search API or Elasticsearch queries.

Please take a look at [KQL](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kuery-query.html) to check whether you can perform your queries using this syntax.
