I am developing Dashboard and have a field being populated with either " " , "+" or "#".
I can see the values set in the field in the correct column of the Dashboard "All Events" Panel.
When I click on a row with a field value of " " , "#" or "+" and then select the 'search' icon beside the field, to use that field value as an additional filter, all of the displayed rows of the "All Events" Panel disappear. Other fields with numeric and text values work however this does not.
Are these three characters special and need to be 'escaped' in some way?
What is the solution to this?

Following is the json definition of the Dashboard.

I've been able to reproduce and will file a bug with our dev team, but in the meantime you may want to try applying the filter below in the logstash config. It checks the field and stores the string "space", "pound", or "plus" depending on what character it finds. This will at least allow you to seach the fields.
