Can I find a list of indices containing documents which contain a specified term?

I'm building a simple app which presents the user with two drop-downs to
easily filter data: one for day (mapping to my daily indices), and one for
client (a term within documents).

I'm currently finding indices using curl -XGET localhost:9200/_aliases, and
a simple aggregation query to get a list of known clients over all indices.
It works, but since not every client is present on every date it feels
clunky when the client is known but the list of dates still contains all
indices, many of which are irrelevant for the selected client.

Can anyone recommend a good way of finding a list of indices in which there
is at least one document containing a specified term please? Thank you very
much.

Hello Chris ,

This should work -

{
"query" : {
// GIVE QUERY HERE
},
"aggregations": {
"aggs": {
"terms": {
"field": "_index"
}
}
}
}

Thanks

Unfortunately it doesn't return any results in the aggregations result.

Input query:
GET _search
{

"terms": {
"field": "_index"
}
}
}
}

Result JSON showing 26K hits (correct), but no index aggregations:

Apologies for delay -- upgrading took a while to get through./

You are right -- 1.3.2 resolved this issue and I'm now able to run
