Running Queries

Each endpoint comes with a Request type that represents the body of its request. For example, a simple search request for a term "Foo" in the name field could be written like this:

search.Request{
    Query: &types.Query{
        Term: map[string]types.TermQuery{
            "name": {Value: "Foo"},
        },
    },
}

Lastly if you want to use your own pre-baked JSON queries using templates or even a specific encoder, you can pass the body directly to the Raw method of the endpoint:

es.Search().Raw([]byte(`{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "user.id": {
        "value": "kimchy",
        "boost": 1.0
      }
    }
  }
}`))

No further validation or serialization is done on what is sent through this method, setting a payload with this takes precedence over any request structure you may submit before running the query.
