edit

A query that accepts any other query as base64 encoded string.

GET /_search
{
    "query" : {
        "wrapper": {
            "query" : "eyJ0ZXJtIiA6IHsgInVzZXIiIDogIktpbWNoeSIgfX0=" 
        }
    }
}

Base64 encoded string: {"term" : { "user" : "Kimchy" }}

This query is more useful in the context of the Java high-level REST client or transport client to also accept queries as json formatted string. In these cases queries can be specified as a json or yaml formatted string or as a query builder (which is a available in the Java high-level REST client).
