Rollover Failing

The solution is to not use the rollover alias, but a different alias name.

Create an alias called "search-all" (for example), and use that in the template. Add the current indices to the "search-all" as well. Search with /search-all/_search then, and it will point to all of your indices.

The rollover alias name should only ever be used in conjunction with the rollover API in your case to simplify things.
