It`s possible to create one alias to more than one index??
Example:
I have one index for each state in the world, but I wanna create one alias for country,
So if I search in Brazil he will search in +/- 28 index.
tks

FRom the docs [indices alias](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.1/indices-aliases.html):
`curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_aliases' -d ' { "actions" : [{ "add" : { "index" : "test1", "alias" : "alias1" } }, { "add" : { "index" : "test2", "alias" : "alias1" } }] }'`
In you case you just add a filter on country eg.
`curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_aliases' -d ' { "actions" : [{ "add" : { "index" : "test1", "alias" : "brazil" ,"filter" : { "term" : { "country" : "brazil" }} }, { "add" : { "index" : "test2", "alias" : "brazil" ,"filter" : { "term" : { "country" : "brazil" }} } [...]`
