Hi,  
i am using elasticsearch, river couchdb plugin and node elasticsearch  
client to search data from my couchdb. my code like this for searching data  
using one index

testSearch = function() {  
var qryObj = {  
"query" : {  
"wildcard" : {  
"\_all" : contact\_person  
}  
}

```
        };    

```

elasticSearchClient.search("purchasetest", "",qryObj, size)  
.on('data', function(data) {  
console.log("Search: "+data)  
assert.ok(JSON.parse(data), "testSearch failed.")  
})  
.exec()  
}

Hi Aruna,

Did you try putting other index with comma to "purchasetest" ?

For instance "purchasetest,otherIndex".
