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.
