Yes.

```auto
POST /faq_comp1/_doc
{
  "company": "1",
  "content": "foo bar"
}
POST /faq_comp2/_doc
{
  "company": "2",
  "content": "foo bar"
}

```

Then

```auto
# Get all from company 1
GET /faq_comp1/_search
# Get all from company 1
GET /faq_comp2/_search
# Get all from all companies
GET /_search

```

Is that what you are asking for?

You can also look at aliases and filtered aliases and do something like:

```auto
POST /faq/_doc
{
  "company": "1",
  "content": "foo bar"
}
POST /faq/_doc
{
  "company": "2",
  "content": "foo bar"
}

```

If you create an alias `faq_comp1` which filters on `"company": "1"` and another one for the second company, you will be able to run:

```auto
# Get all from company 1
GET /faq_comp1/_search
# Get all from company 1
GET /faq_comp2/_search
# Get all from all companies
GET /_search

```

If you want to secure all that, you can secure you indices and your aliases with the built-in security.
