I use kibana version 4.3.0.  
I need to query wild card.  
So. I create a filter using json input that is below.  
{  
"query": {  
"wildcard": {  
"field": "_searchword_"  
}  
}  
}  
But, there are several searchword.  
I want that pattern is not "and" but "or"!  
In that case, How do I make json script?

hi @oms1226,

4.3.0 is an old version of Kibana, so not 100% sure if all concepts carry over. But for AND queries, I'd look first at the Elasticsearch bool query: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/query-dsl-bool-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/query-dsl-bool-query.html)
