What I'm trying to do now is I would like to search two document types in two indices. But in C#, Nest, you need you add a in the search function like this "Client.Search". Since there are different types when search this type on the other indices gives no result set. Is there a way to search in the following url?
[http://ess01:9200/indexa,indexb/\_search](http://ess01:9200/indexa,indexb/_search)
Notice that no type is set. I tried to fire a query to the above endpoint and it works well. But I could not find a way to do it in C#. Any idea will be appreciated!

`client.Search(s=>s.Index("indexa,indexb"))` will search both indices and map it to `Document`
`.Index(Indices.Index("indexa", "indexb"))` is a slightly longer version to do it.
Be sure to read [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/current/covariant-search-results.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/current/covariant-search-results.html)
To understand how NEST can help searching multiple different json sources and map it to covariant list response.
