Using aliases to search with java client

I'm working on refactoring our application to use filtered aliases
instead of separate indices to handle multi-tenancy. I've got the api
working to create and remove indices, but I haven't figured out how to
actually specify the alias when I build a SearchRequest. Where do you
specify the alias when searching with the Java client? Also will
additional filters wipe out the filters in the alias?

It just dawned on me that the alias name is more than likely used in
place of the index name in the docs. Is this correct?

Yep.
