Hi all,

I have written a sample Elasticsearch plugin basically to manipulate the search response.  
Like extending _BaseRestHandler_, and registering handler, _controller.registerHandler(GET, "/\_mysearch", this);_.  
and by implementing _ActionListener_, we can play around with response.

That works alright, but is there a way to intercept search response without having to register a new endpoint, with plugin.

Regards,  
Mohan
