+
+Once you've sent your data to Logz.io, you can search and query your logs to identify, debug, and monitor issues as quickly and effectively as possible.
+
+Explore supports a few query methods, including:
+
+
+## Simple
+
+Logz.io offers an intuative and easy way to build your query. Click the search bar or start typing to find and select fields, conditions, and values. 
+
+Build your query by selecting fields, parameters, and conditions. To add a value that doesn't appear in your logs, type its name and click on the + sign. You can also add free text to your search, which will convert it into a Lucene query.
+
+/// ADD MORE INFO HERE 
+
+
+## Lucene 
+
+Logz.io supports Lucene, an open-source search engine software library.
+
+With Lucene, you can search for free text by typing the text string you want to find; for example, `error` will return all words containing this string, and using quotation marks, `"error"`, will return only the specific word you're searching for.
+
+![See error](https://dytvr9ot2sszz.cloudfront.net/logz-docs/explore-dashboard/best-error-aug27.png)
+
+Use the filters to refine your search. For example, you can filter out all of the eventType fields that are `Modified`.
+
+![Filter out](https://dytvr9ot2sszz.cloudfront.net/logz-docs/explore-dashboard/isnot-filter-aug27.png)
+
+The filters include numeric based fields, such as `LogSize`. Choose the operator and value to view the relevant results. 
+

+
+
+
+
+
+### Apply regex to search
+
+:::caution
+Using Regex can overload your system and cause performance issues in your account. If Regex is necessary, it's best to apply filters and use shorter timeframes.
+:::
+
+Logz.io uses Apache Lucene's regular expression engine to parse regex queries, supporting regexp and query_string.
+
+While Lucene's regex supports all Unicode characters, several characters are reserved as operators and cannot be searched on their own:
+
+`. ? + * | { } [ ] ( ) " \`
+
+Depending on the optional operators enabled, some additional characters may also be reserved. These characters are:
+
+`# @ & < >  ~`
+
+However, you can still use reserved characters by applying a backslash or double-quotes. For example:
+
+`\*` will render as a * sign.
+
+`\#` will render as a # sign.
+
+`\()` will render as brackets.
+
+
+To use Regex in a search query in OpenSearch, you'll need to use the following template:
+
+`fieldName:/.*value.*/`.
+
+For example, you have a field called `sentence` that holds the following line: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
+
+To find one of the values in the field, such as `fox`, you'll need to use the following query:
+
+`sentence:/.*fox.*/`.
+
+// DIDNT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
+
+## Enrich log results
+
+You can add additional columns to your logs field view.
+
+Find the field you'd like to add, hover over it and click on the **+** button.
+
+![Add field](https://dytvr9ot2sszz.cloudfront.net/logz-docs/kibana-discover/add-field-discover.png)
+
+Once the field is added, you can move or remove it using its inner menu.
+
+![Edit field](https://dytvr9ot2sszz.cloudfront.net/logz-docs/kibana-discover/add-field-overview.gif)
+
+Finally, you can save your search and its view by clicking on the **Save** option, at the top navigation bar.
+
+![Save field](https://dytvr9ot2sszz.cloudfront.net/logz-docs/kibana-discover/save-your-fields.png)
+
+## Filter log results
+
+To narrow down your search, click the **Add filter** option underneath the search bar.
+
+Choose the field, operator, and value you'd like to apply in your filter, and click save. You can also create a custom label to rename the filter for better identification.
+
+![Apply a filter](https://dytvr9ot2sszz.cloudfront.net/logz-docs/kibana-discover/add-a-filter.png)
+
+Once you've set your filter, clicking on it will open additional abilities such as pinning it across all apps, excluding results, temporarily disabling it, editing, or deleting it.
+
+## Select logs' time frame
+
+The default period to display results is 15 minutes. You can edit this time frame by clicking on the **Show dates** link or clicking on the calendar icon.
+
+The calendar icon offers popular time frames for you to choose from and lets you select the refresh rate of your data.
+
+![Time frame options](https://dytvr9ot2sszz.cloudfront.net/logz-docs/kibana-discover/quick-time-edits.png)
+
+The **Show dates** option lets you set a start and end time. In the popup, select between the following options:
+
+* **Relative** - Set a start and end date to view your data
+* **Now** - Get real-time troubleshooting and monitoring of your logs
+* **Absolute** - Browse the calendar view and choose any time frame to view your data. In this option, you can type the time frame you want to view
+
+![Choose time frame](https://dytvr9ot2sszz.cloudfront.net/logz-docs/kibana-discover/time-settings-gif.gif)
+
+## Create Log Visualizations
+
+In the following video, you'll be able to see how to create a visualization dashboard based on your logs:
+
+
+<div>
+    <video width="100%" height="auto" controls autoplay loop muted>
+      <source src="https://dytvr9ot2sszz.cloudfront.net/logz-docs/videos/log-visualizations-velcfd5tpr.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
+      Your browser does not support the video tag.
+    </video>
+</div>
+
+
+
+<div style={{position: 'relative', paddingBottom: '56.25%'}}>
+  <iframe style={{position: 'absolute', top: '0', left: '0', width: '100%', height: '100%'}} src="https://fast.wistia.com/embed/iframe/velcfd5tpr" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
+</div>
+
+## Divide your log data
+
+You can divide logs from different environments by type, by utilizing Logz.io's sub accounts option.
+
+Create a sub account and configure it to receive the same logs as an existing account, mapping it as a different data type.
+
+For example, if a `metadata` field is assigned as an `Object` in your production environment, you can assign it as a `String` in your testing environment by creating a sub account to which you’ll send the same logs.
+
+You can also send data from each environment to a dedicated sub account to monitor them individually.
+
+Learn more about [creating and managing sub accounts](/docs/user-guide/admin/logzio-accounts/manage-the-main-account-and-sub-accounts) and about [field mapping](/docs/user-guide/data-hub/field-mapping/) in your account.
