Hello,

I am using Java API client, and making searchRequest.

```auto
SearchRequest searchRequest = SearchRequest.Builder.index("indexName").. otherBuilder ..build();

String queryCheck = searchRequest.toString();

```

toString of SearchRequest gives omitted sentence, not full query string when its length is long.

ex) {"content":{"value":"Hello3"}}}]}}]}},{"bo... \<- with 3 dots

It seems that toString is already defined in SearchRequest and don't have other options but using it.  
Is there any way that I could get full query string?

Thank you.

`SearchRequest implements JsonpSerializable` so you can get the full request body using `SearchRequest#serialize`. That said, I expect `toString()` only starts to truncate the output when your search request body exceeds 10kB, which is pretty large.
