Sorry of this is a dumb question but my expectation is that despite switching from tribe nodes to cross cluster search nodes I should be able to query all the names of my remote indices using a browser.
It seems that is not the case and wondered if there is obvious solution
I know that my configuration is OK as a simple aggregation entered in my browser works
`http://search01:9200/*:log-*/_count`
count 469112464
But this query returns nothing
`http://search01:9200/*:log-*`
and this query returns local indices on the css search node
`http://search01:9200/*`
When we were using tribe nodes then this query would give me a list of all the indices.
