So very basic question about elasticsearch which the docs not answer very clearly (because they seem to go into many advanced details but miss the basic ones!).

Example: range query

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/range-query.html

Doesn’t tell how to PERFORM the range, is it via the search endpoint?

And if it is, then how to do it via querystring? I mean, I want to do a GET, not a POST (because it’s a query, not an insertion/modification). However the documention for GET requests doesn’t tell how to use JSON like in the Range sample:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/uri-request.html

What am I missing?

Thanks

    Replying to myself thanks to @javanna:

    In the RequestBody section of the Search docs:

    http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/request-body.html

    At the end, it says:

    The rest of the search request should be passed within the body itself. The body content can also be passed as a REST parameter named source.

    So I guess that I need to use the search endpoint with the source attribute to pass json.
