So I'm using Gentics Mesh and a "middleware". From this middleware, I'm making a request to the mesh API that forwards requests to elasticSearch. At moment I don't want to use GraphQL API so that's why I'm using /rawSearch. The problem becomes that in such query it will query all indices and I would like to decide which one it queries, just like elasticSearch does, for example, /index1,index2/_search. Is it possible to limit the search to specific indexes or am I forced to use GraphQL?

It is not possible to provide the exact index name yourself.

Maybe it useful for your use case to use the /api/v2/:projectName/rawSearch which narrows the indices down to a certain project within mesh.

  • Mesh creates 2 index per schema, draft and published, by your approach I will narrow the query but it will still query for all *-draft indices even if I want only to query *-published ones. – Javier Velando Feb 25 '20 at 14:26
  • @JavierVelando That's not correct. Mesh will search in either -draft or -published indices (depending on ?version query parameter) – Jotschi Feb 25 '20 at 18:35
  • @Jotschi Thank you very much. But I couldn't find this info in the docs. https://getmesh.io/docs/api/#rawSearch_nodes_post Just btw can you confirm that queries cant be done against only certain schemas (indices)? – Javier Velando Feb 26 '20 at 08:02
  • @JavierVelando Yes, queries are always run against all schemas. We already plan to optimize this by adding a filter query parameter. This way only specific indices would be hit. (e.g. schemas=content,folder). Thanks for the feedback. We'll update the docs. – Jotschi Feb 26 '20 at 09:38
