We expose elasticsearch to client applications via our custom api service; our endpoint is `/search` instead of `/_search` that elasticsearch.js client expects. How do I tell the `elasticsearch.js` client to use `/search` endpoint? I only see an option to provide the host url, not the actual endpoint.

In other words, if I specify host as '[myelastic.com](http://myelastic.com)' then the elasticsearch.js client will post the queries to `http://myelastic.com/_search` and I need it to post queries to `http://myelastic.com/search` (no underscore)

Don't use the client if it's not an elasticsearch server but your own application.

I don't understand what you are doing TBH.
