The following APIs now accept the query in a top level
query
field like:These APIs used to accept the query directly in the request body which was inconsistent with the search and explain APIs. For this reason this is a breaking change.
Count api note: It still has its own piece if code and isn't a shortcut for /_search?search_type=count (so no facets, aggs etc.) The count api code is fine tuned for simple counting and I think it should stay that way.
