Using Templates

Templates are a great way to get started with an advanced search. The templates contain predefined rules for some of the most commonly sought types of information. Using the templates, you can perform these kinds of searches:

  • Credit card
  • Email
  • Phone number
  • Postal code
  • Social security numbers (Canada, France, USA)
  • URL
NOTE
If you are familiar with regular expressions, it is possible to create your own custom templates. However, we suggest contacting Support for guidance before doing so. For more information on regular expressions, refer to elastic.co/regular expression syntax.
