Query many fields with the same part in the name

Hi,

i have events in one sourcetype with over 90 similar fields like field1, field2 ... field90.

I can write a query like: search index=a sourcetype=2 field1=* field2=* ..field90=* | stats min(field1), max(field1, min(field2), max(field2)

is there a way reduce the long query to something like: index=a sourcetype=2 field*=* | stats min(field*) max(field*) ?

If _raw has a field

index=a sourcetype=2 "field*=*"|stats min(field*) as min_field* max(field*) as max_field*

※You can use wild cards for stats.
