Is there a way to search elastic using GET rather than POST method , since i can do this in curl

> ```
> curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/tvseries/internindex/_search?size=5&from=5&pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
> {
> "query": {
> "bool": {
> "should": [
> { "match": { "showname": "Family guy" }},
> { "match": { "content": "gigitty" }}
> ]
> }
> }
> }
> '
> 
> ```

and it works , how can i do the same using search api of elasticsearch.js !
