Hi Elastic team,

I need your suggestions for using Elasticsearch as a search engine for my application similar to instagram or fb.  
Use case::If user is searching for any word that could be any post title,username,channel name of user.  
Should I make seperate index for users details,post details and channel details?If yes then how should I relate each post/images likes or comment made by followers?  
Please suggest me a architecture or mapping for each of these indexes.
