[[maps-search]]
|
|
== Search geographic data
|
|
|
|
Maps embeds the search bar for real-time search.
|
|
Only layers requesting data from {es} are filtered when you submit a search request.
|
|
Layers narrowed by the search context contain the filter icon image:maps/images/filter_icon.png[] next to the layer name in the legend.
|
|
|
|
You can create a layer that requests data from {es} from the following:
|
|
|
|
* <<vector-layer>> with:
|
|
|
|
** Documents
|
|
|
|
** Clusters and grid
|
|
|
|
** <<terms-join>>
|
|
|
|
* <<heatmap-layer>>

=== Create filters from a map
|
|
|
|
You can create two types of filters by interacting with your map:
|
|
|
|
* <<maps-spatial-filters, Spatial filters>>
|
|
* <<maps-phrase-filter, Phrase filters>>
|
|
|

[[maps-spatial-filters]]
|
|
==== Spatial filters
|
|
|
|
A spatial filter narrows search results to documents that either intersect with, are within, or do not intersect with the specified geometry.
|
|
|
|
You can create spatial filters in two ways:
|
|
|
|
* Click the tool icon image:maps/images/tools_icon.png[], and then draw a polygon or bounding box on the map to define the spatial filter.
|
|
* Click *Filter by geometry* in a <<maps-vector-tooltip-locking, locked tooltip>>, and then use the feature's geometry for the spatial filter.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Spatial filters have the following properties:
|
|
|
|
* *Geometry label* enables you to provide a meaningful name for your spatial filter.
|
|
* *Spatial field* specifies the geo_point or geo_shape field used to determine if a document matches the spatial relation with the specified geometry.
|
|
* *Spatial relation* determines the {ref}/query-dsl-geo-shape-query.html#_spatial_relations[spatial relation operator] to use at search time. Only available when *Spatial field* is set to geo_shape.

[[maps-phrase-filter]]
|
|
==== Phrase filters
|
|
|
|
A phrase filter narrows search results to documents that contain the specified text.
|
|
You can create a phrase filter by clicking the plus icon image:maps/images/gs_plus_icon.png[] in a <<maps-vector-tooltip-locking, locked tooltip>>.

[[maps-layer-based-filtering]]
|
|
=== Filter a single layer
|
|
|
|
You can apply a search request to individual layers by setting `Filters` in the layer details panel.
|
|
Click the *Add filter* button to add a filter to a layer.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Layer filters are not applied to *term joins*. You can apply a search request to *term joins* by setting the *where* clause in the join definition.

[[maps-search-across-multiple-indices]]
|
|
=== Search across multiple indices
|
|
|
|
Your map might contain multiple {es} indices.
|
|
This can occur when your map contains two or more layers with {es} sources from different indices.
|
|
This can also occur with a single layer with an {es} source and a <<terms-join>>.
|
|
|
|
Searching across multiple indices might sometimes result in empty layers.
|
|
The most common cause for empty layers are searches for a field that exists in one index, but does not exist in other indices.

[[maps-disable-search-for-layer]]
|
|
==== Disable search for a layer
|
|
|
|
You can prevent the search bar from applying search context to a layer by configuring the following:
|
|
|
|
* In *Filtering*, clear the *Apply global filter to layer data* checkbox to turn off the global search context for the layer source.
|
|
|
|
* In *Term joins*, clear the *Apply global filter to join* checkbox to turn off the global search context for the <<terms-join, term join>>.
|
|

|
|
[[maps-add-index-search]]
|
|
==== Use _index in a search
|
|
|
|
Add {ref}/mapping-index-field.html[_index] to your search to include documents from indices that do not contain a search field.
|
|
|
|
For example, suppose you have a vector layer showing the `kibana_sample_data_logs` documents
|
|
and another vector layer with `kibana_sample_data_flights` documents.
|
|
(See <<add-sample-data, adding sample data>>
|
|
to install the `kibana_sample_data_logs` and `kibana_sample_data_flights` indices.)
|
|
|
|
If you query for
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
machine.os.keyword : "osx"
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
the `kibana_sample_data_flights` layer is empty because the index
|
|
`kibana_sample_data_flights` does not contain the field `machine.os.keyword` and no documents match the query.
|
|
|
|

|
image::maps/images/global_search_multiple_indices_query1.png[]
|
|
|
|
If you instead query for
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
machine.os.keyword : "osx" or _index : "kibana_sample_data_flights"
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
the `kibana_sample_data_flights` layer includes data.
