Hello,  
Sorry to disturb you but I'm totally blocked, I'm french student and I work on a project in my company.  
I want to make a query in c# on elasticsearch.  
The adress which I can have a json response is:  
X.X.X.X:5602/elasticsearch/collector\_reparation\_\*/reparation/\_search  
I would like to do something like:

Uri node = new Uri("[http://X.X.X.X:5602/elasticsearch/](http://X.X.X.X:5602/elasticsearch/)");  
ConnectionSettings settings = new ConnectionSettings(node);  
settings.SetDeafultIndex("collector\_reparation\_\*);  
var searchResponse = client.Search..????? nothing works  
I'm totally distraught even with the official doc.

Can someone help me to improve please?

I would like to recover all the 'reparations' whose 'etat' = 'effectué' in format raw json (or serialized)

thanks very much in advance...

Sincerely

What version of Elasticsearch are you targeting?

Also, please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format:

You can see how it looks in the live preview panel on the right

Without Stepping in @forloop toes 😐 and I would wait on his guided response!

My limited knowledge and lack of more info might suggest this?

```
var settings = new ConnectionSettings(new Uri("http://x.x.x.x:5602")).DefaultIndex("collector_reparation_*").DefaultTypeName("reparation");
var client = new ElasticClient(settings);
var searchResponse = client.Search<Reparation>(s => s
         .Query(q => q
             .Match(m => m
                .Field(f => f.Etat)
                .Query("effectué")
             )
        )
        );
var responseJson = searchResponse;

     public class Reparation
    {
        public string Etat { get; set; }
    }

```

Hope this helps in any way possible

I assumed in your URI that "ElasticSearch" was the cluster.name (I left it out since I dont know how to specify a Cluster.Name in the Connectionstring, that all index searched start with "collector\_reparation\_" , "reparation is a Type and you have a string field called "etat" in your index.

Here some info in connecting to a node not in (localhost:9200)  
[Connecting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/current/connecting.html)

Choosing the right connection strategy  
Sorry I can't be of more help..
