I am new to using elasticsearch-php. I was looking to work with percolator. I was able to map through - it was straight forward. But now i was stuck when was looking to find a way to add queries in percolator.

I failed to actually find any method in the same. If there are mechanism to do the same, please guide.

Hi @Amit_Shah,

I am not familiar with PHP but reading the PHP client docs on [how to work with JSON objects](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/php-api/current/php_json_objects.html) and PHP clients docs on [indexing documents](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/php-api/current/_indexing_documents.html), adding the [example percolate query from the Elasticsearch docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-percolate-query.html), should work as follows:

```auto
$params = [
    'index' => 'my_index',
    'type' => 'query',
    'id' => '1',
    'body' => [
        'query' => [
            'match' => [
                 'message' => 'bonsai tree'
             ]
        ]
    ]
];

// Document will be indexed to my_index/query/1
$response = $client->index($params);

```

Daniel
