I am using Appsearch/Enterprise search at the frontend, but I need some heavy processing / complex queries to be made at the backend for which I need more control. And as per my understanding appsearch is basically a wrapper around the elasticsearch so there must be some criteria based on which appsearch query translates into elasticsearch query and then it is executed on the respective index. So I want the actual elasticsearch query whenever I make a particular query at the frontend.  
Please help me out on this as I couldn't find any such thing in the documentation.
