Hi, I have created an engine on App search and there I have index some documents. I can't access those index with my Elasticsearch port like [http://localhost:9200/index/\_search](http://localhost:9200/index/_search) My question is how can I access those indexes from my Elasticsearch port (localhost:9200) not app search port (localhost:3002)? If I can access those form my Elasticsearch port then I can use the Kibana dev tool console. ---

You should use App Search API and not elasticsearch API. ---
