Hello, I am new to elasticsearch and would like to know how to directly perform search activities on indexed data via a weblink. e.g localhost:9200/index/type/\_search?q="thing-I-want-to-search-for". I have tried implementing the example I gave above using flask, however, it doesnt work. I will appreciate any advice on how to proceed. Thank you.

When you just say "it doesn't work" it's hard to guide you. What have you tried? Please provide us with your mappings and Flask code.
