Hi,

I have queries working in Kibana dev tool. Like this one:

> GET /myindex/books/\_search  
> {  
> "size":2,  
> "from":0,  
> "query": {  
> "match\_all":{}  
> }  
> }

I want to simulate exact same queries in javascript. Meaning user would just copy the query from Kibana dev tool to a text file and my nodejs program would read it and execute against elasticesearch using elasticsearch js client.

Is it feasible?

All it is, is a http request you can simulate it in any language.
