I have several types defined in my elasticsearch index like "product", "manufacturer", "locales" etc. I want to search across all these types in a single query. Each type has different number of fields. But all types have a field called "NAME" which is searchable and a field called "TYPE" which holds its type. How do I create a search query to retrive a list of heterogenous results? -- ---

You can specify a list of types that you want to search on URL or not specify type at all if you want to search all types at the same time: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/indices-types.html) On Monday, November 12, 2012 6:47:09 AM UTC-5, Prakhar Goel wrote: > I have several types defined in my elasticsearch index like "product", > "manufacturer", "locales" etc. I want to search across all these types > in a single query.
