Hi there,
I have an indexed field called "uri\_path", on this field, I have following values:
```auto
- /something/*/
- /something/*/a/
- /something/*/b/
- /something/*/c/
```
The \* indicates anything, and I want to create a search query such that I filter documents where the `uri_path` field strictly matches `/something/*/` and not the other 3 paths
I am unable to find a way to create the search query except doing a lot of `NOT ...` in the search query. Is there no other way to do this in Kibana at the moment?

Hi @kashif_shamaz, unfortunately I think this is the only available solution.
