Hi,
I am trying to query elasticsearch indices from client side of kibana plugin.
I was unable to find any native kibana plugin components which can readily enable me to create a client with which I can make request to elasticsearch with all the Privileges and roles of user.
Currently I resorted to making a fetch request like this
```auto
fetch ("/api/console/proxy?path=indexName%2F_search&method=GET", requestOptions)
```
in app.tsx or other child modules of app.tsx in `public/components` folders of generated kibana plugin ( generated using plugin generator in scripts)
Which works fine in local development environment but, when deployed in prod gives me `404` for normal and works fine for superuser or admin users.
Setup info:
```
The whole setup is on version 7.9.1,
For building the plugin we are using 7.x branch of kibana
```
Thanks
Chaitanya

Hi, you'll want to add a dependency for the `data` plugin in your app, and use its services to fetch data from ES: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/7.x/src/plugins/data/README.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/7.x/src/plugins/data/README.md)

Hi @tsullivan,
Tried using the data plugin, while creating a custom search query like mentioned below:
```auto
const [indexPattern, setIndexPattern] = useState();
useEffect(() => {
const setDefaultIndexPattern = async () => {
const defaultIndexPattern = await data.indexPatterns.getDefault();
setIndexPattern(defaultIndexPattern);
};
setDefaultIndexPattern();
cussearch();
}, [data]);
const query = {
query: {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"match": {
"name": "first"
}
}
]
}
},
language: 'dsl'
}
const aggs = [
{
id: 'count',
type: 'cardinality',
params: {
field: indexPattern.getFieldByName("_id").name
}
}
];
const aggsDsl = data.search.aggs.createAggConfigs(indexPattern,aggs).toDsl()
const searchSource = await data.search.searchSource.create();
const searchResponse = await searchSource
.setParent(undefined)
.setField('index', indexPattern)
.setField('query', query)
.setField('aggs', aggsDsl)
.setField('size',0)
.fetch();
```
but `query` is not getting reflected in the response, only `aggs` is applied properly to the search API call.
`setField` says it requires `Query | undefined` type object but there is no function in data plugin which will build and return a `Query` type object.
and the same goes for the `filters` as well, there is no function in data plugin via which we can create `Filter` type object, though when I run `data.query.filterManager.getFilters()` I get the exsiting applied Filters.
How can I create Custom `Filter` and `Query` objects??
Thanks
Chaitanya

Hi, there is an excellent example plugin in the Kibana source repo to give a live example of what you are trying to do: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/search\_examples/public/components/app.tsx](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/search_examples/public/components/app.tsx)
You can import interfaces from the Data plugin, and use the plugin API to create a `req` object as seen here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/search\_examples/public/components/app.tsx#L141](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/search_examples/public/components/app.tsx#L141)
Then you create a subscription to the search results with `data.search.search(req)` and handle the response data in the callback of the subscription as seen here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/search\_examples/public/components/app.tsx#L161](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/examples/search_examples/public/components/app.tsx#L161)
If you intend to search using Elasticsearch DSL syntax, you do not need a custom search strategy.
