Http GET without BODY

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

hi everyone --

after watching this bonsai-cool project for a while I am finally ready to
start using it.

my http client does not support BODY in GET requests, so following the
comment in http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/ that suggested
using a query string parameter named "source" instead.

I added 5 test documents with the following information:

{ "name" : "Shay Banon", "org" : "Elastic Search" }
{ "name" : "Michael Offner", "org" : "Railo" }
{ "name" : "Igal Sapir", "org" : "Railo" }
{ "name" : "Uwe Schindler", "org" : "Lucene Search" }
{ "name" : "Michael McCandless", "org" : "Lucene Search" }

now if I execute the following GET request:

http://localhost:9200/index/type/_search?q=Search

I get the correct results, which are the 3 documents with the word "Search"

but I can not produce the same results with the "source" param.

what would be the SOURCE equivalent to "q=Search"?

thanks,

Igal

Most http clients do not support GET requests with a body which is why ES
also supports executing searches using a POST or the source parameter as
you mention. Using POST is going to be the best approach if possible. At
any rate, the body equivalent of using the q parameter is:

{"query":{"query_string":{"query":"Search"}}}
