== Search
The search API allows you to execute a search query and get back search hits
that match the query. The query can either be provided using a simple
<<search-uri-request,query string as a parameter>>, or using a
<<search-request-body,request body>>.

=== Multi-Index, Multi-Type
All search APIs can be applied across multiple types within an index, and
across multiple indices with support for the
<<multi-index,multi index syntax>>. For
example, we can search on all documents across all types within the
twitter index:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /twitter/_search?q=user:kimchy
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
We can also search within specific types:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /twitter/tweet,user/_search?q=user:kimchy
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
We can also search all tweets with a certain tag across several indices
(for example, when each user has his own index):
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /kimchy,elasticsearch/_search?q=tag:wow
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[s/^/PUT kimchy\nPUT elasticsearch\n/]
Or we can search all tweets across all available indices using `_all`
placeholder:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_all/_search?q=tag:wow
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
Or even search across all indices and all types:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search?q=tag:wow
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
