== Search
|
|
|
|
The search API allows 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]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/_search?q=user:kimchy'
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
We can also search within specific types:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet,user/_search?q=user:kimchy'
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
We can also search all tweets with a certain tag across several indices
|
|
(for example, when each user has his own index):
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/kimchy,elasticsearch/tweet/_search?q=tag:wow'
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Or we can search all tweets across all available indices using `_all`
|
|
placeholder:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_all/tweet/_search?q=tag:wow'
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Or even search across all indices and all types:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_search?q=tag:wow'
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
