Runs a search with a search template Added in 2.0.0
Path parameters
-
Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases to search. Supports wildcards (*).
Query parameters
-
allow_no_indices boolean
If
false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or_allvalue targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targetingfoo*,bar*returns an error if an index starts withfoobut no index starts withbar. -
ccs_minimize_roundtrips boolean
If
true, network round-trips are minimized for cross-cluster search requests. -
expand_wildcards string | array[string]
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
If
true, specified concrete, expanded, or aliased indices are not included in the response when throttled. -
preference string
Specifies the node or shard the operation should be performed on. Random by default.
-
profile boolean
If
true, the query execution is profiled. -
routing string
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_fetchordfs_query_then_fetch. -
rest_total_hits_as_int boolean
If true, hits.total are rendered as an integer in the response.
-
typed_keys boolean
If
true, the response prefixes aggregation and suggester names with their respective types.
Body Required
-
explain boolean
If
true, returns detailed information about score calculation as part of each hit. -
id string
-
params object
Key-value pairs used to replace Mustache variables in the template. The key is the variable name. The value is the variable value.
-
profile boolean
If
true, the query execution is profiled. -
source string
An inline search template. Supports the same parameters as the search API's request body. Also supports Mustache variables. If no id is specified, this parameter is required.
