We currently have a number of indexes with aliases ending either .Index or .Reindex and I want to restrict the search to _.Index. Could someone tell me how to do this, in elastic I would query [http://url/](http://url/)_.Index?q=_:_ but cannot figure out how to replicate this through NEST.

Thanks in advance,

James.
