Hi, Due to accessibility levels in my organization, when performing a global search across all indices within Elasticsearch, I need to apply different filters for different indices and then combine this into one results pool. I am wondering whether that is possible in one huge query, so that I don't perform separate queries per index? To clarify -- let's say I have a Post and Comment models. When fetching results, I should only match Comments by commenter\_id whereas Post by poster\_id. I have separate indices for posts and comments. Now, I'd just perform two queries, filtering separately and then combine results. But that's slow. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, Thanks! I actually looked at the indices query but it only gives me one alternative. If I have more models, is multi\_search my only option ?

You can combine several indices queries together using bool query On Friday, April 5, 2013 5:29:33 AM UTC-4, Antek Piechnik wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks!
