Elasticsearch's Nest lowlevel Search method ignoring index name defined in Search request object

I am trying to use elastic low level client to search multiple indices through -

client.LowLevel.Search(PostData.Serializable(new SearchRequest(new[] {"Index1", "Index2"}) { Size = 10, From = 0, Query = searchQuery))

Results i am getting are across other indices as well which i have not defined in the list of indices to search.

I found a work around -

client.LowLevel.Search("Index", PostData.Serializable(new SearchRequest() { Size = 10, From = 0, Query = searchQuery))

But this way i am not able to search multiple indices.

I also cant use the high level client since i want to return raw search response (without deserializing) which i have only been able to achieve through low level client.

Did you try to serialize your request to string to check if it is generation correct query or not? you can use elastic client RequestResponseSerializer.SerializeToString([query]) to do it. - Kaveh
Request is generating the exact query i want. But i can see the url its trying to hit is /_search which should ideally be /indexName/_search so basically it is ignoring indices passed as arguments to search request - Sahil Chawla
you should be able to use client.LowLevel.Search("Index", PostData.Serializable(new SearchRequest() { Size = 10, From = 0, Query = searchQuery)) and use a comma-separated list of index names to search; use the special string _all - Kaveh

As you can check Elastic nest client documentation you can pass a comma-separated list of index names to search.

TResponse Search<TResponse>(string index, PostData body, SearchRequestParameters requestParameters = null) where TResponse : class, IElasticsearchResponse, new();

So your index string should be like "index1,index2".
