I'm using App Search, and for one quite complex query I need to make an Elasticsearch search rather than an App Search search

As I'm working in NodeJS, I'm doing that with a `client.app.searchEsSearch` call

In the App Search docs for the Elasticsearch Search api, at [Elasticsearch search API for App Search | App Search documentation [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/elasticsearch-search-api-reference.html#elasticsearch-search-api-reference-analytics-parameters) it suggests setting the `X-Enterprise-Search-Analytics` header so that the searches still show in analytics

However, I'm not sure how I can go about setting that header when using the Node.js client library. I can't seem to see it mentioned anywhere in the Node.js library docs at [App Search APIs | enterprise-search-js [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search-clients/enterprise-search-node/8.11/app-search-api.html) . Does anyone know what the trick is to get that header set?
