=== `_index` field
When performing queries across multiple indexes, it is sometimes desirable to
add query clauses that are associated with documents of only certain indexes.
The `_index` field allows matching on the index a document was indexed into.
Its value is accessible in `term`, or `terms` queries, aggregations,
scripts, and when sorting:
NOTE: The `_index` is exposed as a virtual field -- it is not added to the
Lucene index as a real field. This means that you can use the `_index` field
in a `term` or `terms` query (or any query that is rewritten to a `term`
query, such as the `match`, `query_string` or `simple_query_string` query),
but it does not support `prefix`, `wildcard`, `regexp`, or `fuzzy` queries.

# Example documents
PUT index_1/my_type/1
{
"text": "Document in index 1"
}
PUT index_2/my_type/2
{
"text": "Document in index 2"
}
GET index_1,index_2/_search

"query": {
"terms": {
"_index": ["index_1", "index_2"] <1>
}
},

// AUTOSENSE
<1> Querying on the `_index` field
<2> Aggregating on the `_index` field
<3> Sorting on the `_index` field
<4> Accessing the `_index` field in scripts (inline scripts must be <<enable-dynamic-scripting,enabled>> for this example to work)
