Inconsistent wildcard search

Description

I was trying to search on a field that has a value like this: trackingid:Api23-12345 by doing a search on trackingid:Api23*. It didn't return me anything. If I entered trackingid:"Api23-12345" then I get everything matching. If I enter trackingid:"api23-12345" (different case) then no hits. How can I enter a search term that does a wildcard search on this field, ignoring case? I'm not sure if this is a user error (me) or a bug, but I figured I'll open a ticket.

No work will be done on the current logstash-web and will be replaced by Kibana ( www.kibana.org )
Currently there are 2 options.

1) Wait until Kibana is runnable from logstash.
2) Run kibana your self.

ok, added to FAQ. Not a great write-up, but at least it's a start.

There is a setting in ES to make the search term lower case, it may be that it is on by default, I don't know for sure, it's just what my testing showed (that the search terms seemed to always be treated as lower case in ES).

This information (analyzers, etc) would be great info for the wiki if you want to add it: https://github.com/logstash/logstash/wiki/

"I think the search query was automatically (by the Logstash UI) made lower case, "

Logstash doesn't alter any input (data or search queries) in this way

Fixed
