Hi,

I could perform **count with the percolate query** , just like this -

curl -XGET "[http://localhost:9200/car/\_count](http://localhost:9200/car/_count)" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"query" : { "percolate" : {"field": "criteria", "index" : "rev", "type" : "default", "id" :777} } }'

I could also perform **bulk search with percolate query** , just like this -

curl -XGET "[http://localhost:9200/\_msearch](http://localhost:9200/_msearch)" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{ "index" : "car"}  
{"query" : { "percolate" : {"field": "criteria", "index" : "rev", "type" : "default", "id" : 777 } } }  
{ "index" : "car"}  
{"query" : { "percolate" : {"field": "criteria", "index" : "rev", "type" : "default", "id" : 888 } } }  
'  
But I would like to perform **count with msearch in a percolate query**. How do I achieve this ?

Appreciate any help !
