When i use aaaa-\* and limit time range to search, es will search all of index begin with aaaa index, if there any way to search specific index according to time range?  
for example:  
aaaa-\* have these index: aaaa-2022-01-01, aaaa-2022-01-02, aaaa-2022-01-03

and i have this query:

```http
GET aaaa-*/_search
{
  "query": {
    "range": {
      "date": {
        "gte": "2022-01-02 10:10:10",
        "lte": "2022-01-03 11:11:11"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

i wish es to search aaaa-2022-01-02 and aaaa-2022-01-03 without aaaa-2022-01-01

Elasticsearch is able to determine which indices have matching ranges, and will skip those that don't match.
