Much of the code uses the builder pattern, so look at the various  
methods of the request classes. For the search request:

[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/search/SearchRequest.java](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/search/SearchRequest.java)

There are a few different ways at creating a SearchRequest. I like  
using the static factory methods in the Requets class.

SearchRequest request =  
org.elasticsearch.client.Requests.searchRequest(index).type(type)....

Oops, sorry, I misread your email (multi-tasking fail). You wanted to  
know about constructing an actual query and not just executing.

Follow Eric's link. The builder pattern still applies. Look at the  
various methods under org.elasticsearch.index.query.QueryBuilders.
