Hi,  
I'm using time-series indices with the following pattern: message\_YYYY.MM.DD  
I'd like to perform queries for documents inside a certain time-window.

Something like:

GET /_{from message\_2017.11.05 to message\_2017.11.07}_ /\_search

Is it possible?

Thanks  
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

You can inform multiple indices in the URL separated by comma. For example, you could do something like this:

`GET message_2017.11.05,message_2017.11.06,message_2017.11.07/_search`

It is possible to use wildcard too. If you want to search for November messages:

`GET message_2017.11*/_search`
