=== Count API
The count API allows to easily execute a query and get the number of
matches for that query. It can be executed across one or more indices.
The query can either be provided using a simple query string as a
parameter, or using the <<query-dsl,Query DSL>> defined within the request
body. Here is an example:
Gets the number of matches for a search query.
[source,console]

GET /twitter/_count?q=user:kimchy
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:twitter]
NOTE: The query being sent in the body must be nested in a `query` key, same as
the <<search-search,search api>> works.

The count API allows you to execute a query and get the number of matches for
that query. It can be executed across one or more indices. The query can either
be provided using a simple query string as a parameter, or using the
<<query-dsl,Query DSL>> defined within the request body.
The count API can be applied to <<search-multi-index,multiple indices>>.
The operation is broadcast across all shards. For each shard id group, a replica
is chosen and executed against it. This means that replicas increase the
scalability of count.

==== Multi index
The count API can be applied to <<search-multi-index,multiple indices>>.
[float]
==== Request Parameters
When executing count using the query parameter `q`, the query passed is
a query string using Lucene query parser. There are additional
parameters that can be passed:
[cols="<,<",options="header",]
|=======================================================================
|Name |Description
|`df` |The default field to use when no field prefix is defined within the
query.
|`analyzer` |The analyzer name to be used when analyzing the query string.
|`default_operator` |The default operator to be used, can be `AND` or
`OR`. Defaults to `OR`.
|`lenient` |If set to true will cause format based failures (like
providing text to a numeric field) to be ignored. Defaults to false.
|`analyze_wildcard` |Should wildcard and prefix queries be analyzed or
not. Defaults to `false`.
|`terminate_after` |The maximum count for each shard, upon
reaching which the query execution will terminate early.
If set, the response will have a boolean field `terminated_early` to
indicate whether the query execution has actually terminated_early.
Defaults to no terminate_after.
|=======================================================================
[float]
==== Request Body
The count can use the <<query-dsl,Query DSL>> within
its body in order to express the query that should be executed. The body
content can also be passed as a REST parameter named `source`.
Both HTTP GET and HTTP POST can be used to execute count with body.
Since not all clients support GET with body, POST is allowed as well.
[float]
==== Distributed
The count operation is broadcast across all shards. For each shard id
group, a replica is chosen and executed against it. This means that
replicas increase the scalability of count.
[float]
==== Routing
The routing value (a comma separated list of the routing values) can be
specified to control which shards the count request will be executed on.
