Hi,

what exactly do you mean by merging indices?

If you have an index A and index B and you want to have new index C with
would contain content from both indices A and B (and then you eventually
want to drop indices A and B) then such merging is not supported by ES out
of the box. But you can write a simple script to do it manually on your
side (pull all data from index A and index into C, pull all data from index
B and index into C, done).

If you just want to search across both indices A and B (as is they were a
single index C) then you can of course do it (
Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic or
Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic
).

Lukas

Lukas is of course right, the easiest solution is to search over both
indices. Alternativly you can pull documents out of both indices and throw
them in a new one. But be careful with this solution: it does not work when
you exclude source fields, as these can not be retrieved again.
