Hello Ivan, I thank you for your link. It confirms that we can search into several indices or types. Do you think is it possible to make a query with criteria on the presence of result into each index ? for example, we must have the same "owner id" into each index specified.

Ivan, Thanks a lot for your quick response. I am looking to have multiindex search from the kibana dashboard's searchbox, It would be a gr8 if you can suggeset some sample query which searches from multiple index from kibana. (As of now I am not querying from rest api's GET method). @Group members if anyone of us has implemented the same in ELK, plz put your ideas here.
