[[search-multiple-indices]]
== Search multiple data streams and indices
To search multiple data streams and indices, add them as comma-separated values
in the <<search-search,search API>>'s request path.
The following request searches the `my-index-000001` and `my-index-000002`
indices.
[source,console]
----
GET /my-index-000001,my-index-000002/_search
{
"query": {
"match": {
"user.id": "kimchy"
}
}
}
----
// TEST[setup:my_index]
// TEST[s/^/PUT my-index-000002\n/]
You can also search multiple data streams and indices using an index pattern.
The following request targets the `my-index-*` index pattern. The request
searches any data streams or indices in the cluster that start with `my-index-`.
[source,console]
----
GET /my-index-*/_search
{
"query": {
"match": {
"user.id": "kimchy"
}
}
}
----
// TEST[setup:my_index]
To search all data streams and indices in a cluster, omit the target from the
request path. Alternatively, you can use `_all` or `*`.
The following requests are equivalent and search all data streams and indices in
the cluster.
[source,console]
----
GET /_search
{
"query": {
"match": {
"user.id": "kimchy"
}
}
}
GET /_all/_search
{
"query": {
"match": {
"user.id": "kimchy"
}
}
}
GET /*/_search
{
"query": {
"match": {
"user.id": "kimchy"
}
}
}
----
// TEST[setup:my_index]

[[index-boost]]
=== Index boost
When searching multiple indices, you can use the `indices_boost` parameter to
boost results from one or more specified indices. This is useful when hits
coming from some indices matter more than hits from other.
NOTE: You cannot use `indices_boost` with data streams.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
"indices_boost": [
{ "my-index-000001": 1.4 },
{ "my-index-000002": 1.3 }
]
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[s/^/PUT my-index-000001\nPUT my-index-000002\n/]
Index aliases and index patterns can also be used:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
"indices_boost": [
{ "my-alias": 1.4 },
{ "my-index*": 1.3 }
]
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[s/^/PUT my-index-000001\nPUT my-index-000001\/_alias\/my-alias\n/]
If multiple matches are found, the first match will be used. For example, if an
index is included in `alias1` and matches the `my-index*` pattern, a boost value
of `1.4` is applied.
