Kibana KQL Autocompletion is not included as part of OSS Kibana and therefore does not appear to be a feature in OpenDistro Kibana.

You can see a screenshot of this feature in action here: [Kibana Query Language | Kibana Guide [7.9] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.9/kuery-query.html)

It would be very helpful if this feature could be brought to OpenDistro Kibana.

Thank you

Is there any hope for KQL autocomplete?

How can I use an OpenDistro if one of the most important and useful features is missing?  
Why do I need kibana without autocomplete feature?  
The questions are rhetorical, as I see that there are no answers to uncomfortable questions.

While I don’t believe there has been any progress in relation to KQL (or what opensearch dahsboards now calls DQL) … it looks like autocomplete may be available with PPL soon: [https://github.com/opensearch-project/trace-analytics/issues/292](https://github.com/opensearch-project/trace-analytics/issues/292)
