I am trying to search the data in ES using RestHighLevelClient and referring the documentation available at ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-high-search.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-high-search.html)) but getting a compilation error "RequestOptions cannot be resolved to a variable" at line "client.search(searchRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);"  
Could you please let me know the right way to search the data using RestHighLevelClient.

ES version: 6.3.2

Code:

```
RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http"))
                    .setRequestConfigCallback(new RestClientBuilder.RequestConfigCallback() {
                        public RequestConfig.Builder customizeRequestConfig(RequestConfig.Builder requestConfigBuilder) {
                            return requestConfigBuilder.setConnectTimeout(5000)
                                    .setSocketTimeout(100000);
                        }
                    })
            .setMaxRetryTimeoutMillis(100000)
        );
SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest("");
										  searchRequest.types("doc");
										  SearchSourceBuilder searchSourceBuilder = new SearchSourceBuilder();
										  searchSourceBuilder.query(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery());
										  searchRequest.source(searchSourceBuilder);
										  SearchResponse searchResponse = client.search(searchRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
```

The problem here is that you're trying to use the master documentation against 6.3. Instead, you should be using the 6.3 [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.3/java-rest-high-search.html). You can get to the 6.3 docs from the master docs by clicking the version drop down on the right-hand side of the page. If you follow this, you will see that `RequestOptions` is not referenced there (because we only added it in 6.4), and that instead the code you want is:

```java
SearchResponse searchResponse = client.search(searchRequest);

```
