### Cancel a running query [cancel-query-in-discover]

When you cancel a running in **Discover**, you can still get some results to show depending on the version that you're using.

:::::{applies-switch}

::::{applies-item} { serverless:, stack: ga 9.3+ }
Select the **Cancel** button that appears while the query executes. **Discover** stops the search and displays the partial results collected up to that point.
::::

::::{applies-item} stack: ga 9.0-9.2
Select the **Cancel** button that appears while the query executes. **Discover** stops the search and shows an empty results table.
::::

:::::

This behavior applies to all query types (KQL, Lucene, and {{esql}}).

:::{tip}
For long-running queries, you can also [send the query to the background](background-search.md) instead of canceling it, allowing it to complete while you continue working.
