providing search_type

[orrchen]

Hi,
From the docs for elasticsearch-model searching it's hard to understand how to supply options like search_count. for example if I try the following call:

res = MyModel.search  search_type: 'count' , query:     query, aggs: aggs

where query, and aggs are valid query and aggs object, when trying to access res.response I receive the following error:

nested: SearchParseException[[articles_events][4]: from[-1],size[-1]: Parse Failure [No parser for element [search_type]]]; }]","status":400}

removing search_type: 'count' removes the error as well.

Is there an example of providing the options arg?

Thanks

Hi @o-r-r
In your case search_type is considered as a body key, like { search_type: ..., query: ..., ..}, but is supposed to be an option for search. This is happening because it's considered as a single hash, so your line is equal to:

MyModel.search { search_type: 'count' , query:     query, aggs: aggs }

But options is a second argument, so it should be like

MyModel.search  { query:     query, aggs: aggs }, search_type: 'count'

instead.

Thanks.
Got it to work eventually by something similar:
MyModel.search { query: query, aggs: aggs }, { :timeout => 3 , :search_type => 'count'}
