Hi there,

I'm playing with search across types with queries of form:  
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/trk/110,112/\_search ...

And I'm wondering if there is a way to specify the types I want to search  
on in the query body.  
Like:  
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/trk/\_search -d '{  
...  
}'

It seems that the feature exists for cross-index searches[1] but I fail to  
find the cross-type equivalent.
