Hello - using NEST v6.4.2 I need to fire off a client.Get across all indices. I cannot figure out how to use the Get API specifically to do this. My code looks as follows

```auto
   var client = //initialize a ElasticClient here
   // throws error as "" is an invalid index name
   var doc = client.Get<dynamic>(new GetRequest("", "_all", id));

```

For the index name I have also tried using `Indices.All`, `Indices.AllIndices`, `"*"` etc and nothing works.

Is it possible to use the Get /new GetRequest API to search across all indicies?

Thanks in advance
