How to set a global search type in Multi Search API?

I'm playing with the Multi Search API to get a response which contains a
bulk of counts search requests and i want set the search_type=count to
globally apply to all search requests.

I tried to set the search_type on the request header like that the below
but it does not work, it works only when i put it in the header of each
request in my bulk-request file (i mean that i had to duplicate that {"search_type"
: "count"}
in each header )

curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/_msearch?pretty=1&search_type=count
--data-binary @bulk-request; echo

Any suggestions ??

You're probably missing the "search metadata" line before each query:

curl -XGET 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/test/test/_msearch?pretty=1&search_type=count' -d '
{}
{"query" : {"match_all" : {}}}
{}
{"query" : {"match_all" : {}}}
'
