Hi, Is it possible to use registered search templates in a multi search api (\_msearch) request? If so, how? I tried giving the following query in a body. {"template":{"id":"template\_1"},"params":{"a":1, "b":2}} But that leads to the error: Parse Failure [No parser for element [template]] I tried wrapping everything in a query and POSTing to \_msearch/template, but these don't work either.
