Hello,

I'm trying to use the Multi Search API to issue several scroll searches.  
Anyone have any idea how I would do that?

curl 'localhost:9200/\_msearch?search\_type=scan' -d '  
{"index": "logs", "type": "dns"}  
{"scroll": "10m"}  
'

[No parser for element [scroll]]

curl 'localhost:9200/\_msearch?search\_type=scan' -d '  
{"index": "logs", "type": "dns", "scroll": "10m"}  
{}  
'

ElasticSearchException[Scroll must be provided when scanning...]

curl 'localhost:9200/\_msearch?search\_type=scan&scroll=10m' -d '  
{"index": "logs", "type": "dns"}  
{}  
'

ElasticSearchException[Scroll must be provided when scanning...]

What I'm trying to do is to get a per-type scroll, so that my web interface  
can have a tab per-type. Thanks,

--Vlad

There isn't support to use multi search request and to scroll the results.
