Hi, I'm just getting getting started with elasticsearch and like what I see so far. I would like to execute a series of indexings and another series of queries. The queries wound be various permutations/combinations of search terms which I would like to evaluate (for precision & recall) against various indexing approaches. This would be against a subset of "live data". I'm using the chrome plugin for sense.

I use Sense for testing bulk searches, so yes. Just following the JSON formatting instructions for bulk operations, whether it's `_msearch` or `_bulk`.
