In Elasticsearch one can use GET request with a request body. but as per my information Get request with a body doesn't have any semantics.  
Does Elasticsearch parse the body in the URL?  
If it does, How Elasticsearch parse it?

GET with body is allowed by the HTTP RFC.  
But if it causes any problem, elasticsearch also supports POST
