Hi all  
I notices something when i try some query using KQL,  
For example: i have 2 data like this 123.abc.deh and dhdk.abc.deh then when i write query for that like this  
test: \*.abc.deh then the only result return is dhdk.abc.deh, so how do i query to match both with regex in KQL  
And i cant use regex query string because i need to use this in the siem detection and they do not have a way to input query string

Thank in advance
