Query parameters

  • allow_no_indices boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.

  • ccs_minimize_roundtrips boolean

    If true, network round-trips are minimized for cross-cluster search requests.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    The type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden. Valid values are: all, open, closed, hidden, none.

  • explain boolean

    If true, the response includes additional details about score computation as part of a hit.

  • ignore_throttled boolean Deprecated

    If true, specified concrete, expanded, or aliased indices are not included in the response when throttled.

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.

  • preference string

    The node or shard the operation should be performed on. It is random by default.

  • profile boolean

    If true, the query execution is profiled.

  • routing string

    A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.

  • scroll string

    Specifies how long a consistent view of the index should be maintained for scrolled search.

  • search_type string

    The type of the search operation.

    Values are query_then_fetch or dfs_query_then_fetch.

  • rest_total_hits_as_int boolean

    If true, hits.total is rendered as an integer in the response. If false, it is rendered as an object.

  • typed_keys boolean

    If true, the response prefixes aggregation and suggester names with their respective types.
