I want to switch from nest to elasticsearch-net and use my own raw json query for searching.

How can I use elasticsearch-net to search using raw json queries?

Hi, @A_Kamali.

[This documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/7.17/elasticsearch-net-getting-started.html#_searching) should get you started.
