Hello,  
I am using an alias name when writing data using Bulk Api.  
I have 2 questions:

1. Can I get the index name after writing data using the alias name maybe as part of the response?
2. Can I improve performance if I send search queries on specific indexes instead to search on all indexes of some alias?

Thanks,  
Shiran
