If I understood what you wrote: It's a search request. Search is using POST. You don't add something in ES when asking for facets. So you don't PUT something. You just POST a request. My 2 cents.

I agree with David. You see Sumit: PUT, POST and GET are all concepts of making basic web requests using HTTP. PUT has a specific intention or purpose. That purpose being to add somthing. POST owes no such meaning to its usage. Try reading a small part of the following article and it should help you feel more in charge of these concepts: > **[PUT or POST: The REST of the Story](https://jcalcote.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/put-or-post-the-rest-of-the-story/)** > > Web service designers have tried for some time now to correlate CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete) semantics with the Representational State Transfer (REST) verbs defined by the HTTP specif… On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 8:50 AM, [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) wrote: > \*\* > > If I understood what you wrote: > > It's a search request.
