Kibana does show error and appears to not work if the query is wrong.

[greenkiwi]

We have a log server setup, with LogStash dumping into ES (1.3.2) and we are using Kibana (3.1).

If I type a query that isn't correct:
+imap_op_duration_ms:[10000 to *]

note the "to" instead of "TO", kibana never gives me an error. I had to look in the network log to see what was going on.

When I look in the network log after hitting refresh, or changing the time, I see some 400 bad request results:

This has been resolved in kibana 4. Kibana 4 sends the query to Elasticsearch's _validate endpoint first and attempts to validate syntax.
