Reference

`index`	`string \| string[]` - A comma-separated list of index names to search; use `_all` or empty string to perform the operation on all indices
`type`	`string \| string[]` - A comma-separated list of document types to search; leave empty to perform the operation on all types
`analyzer`	`string` - The analyzer to use for the query string
`analyze_wildcard` or `analyzeWildcard`	`boolean` - Specify whether wildcard and prefix queries should be analyzed (default: false)
`default_operator` or `defaultOperator`	`'AND' \| 'OR'` - The default operator for query string query (AND or OR) Default: `OR`
`df`	`string` - The field to use as default where no field prefix is given in the query string
`from`	`number` - Starting offset (default: 0)
`ignore_unavailable` or `ignoreUnavailable`	`boolean` - Whether specified concrete indices should be ignored when unavailable (missing or closed)
`allow_no_indices` or `allowNoIndices`	`boolean` - Whether to ignore if a wildcard indices expression resolves into no concrete indices. (This includes `_all` string or when no indices have been specified)
`conflicts`	`'abort' \| 'proceed'` - What to do when the delete-by-query hits version conflicts? Default: `abort`
`expand_wildcards` or `expandWildcards`	`'open' \| 'closed' \| 'none' \| 'all'` - Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both. Default: `open`
`lenient`	`boolean` - Specify whether format-based query failures (such as providing text to a numeric field) should be ignored
`preference`	`string` - Specify the node or shard the operation should be performed on (default: random)
`q`	`string` - Query in the Lucene query string syntax
`routing`	`string \| string[]` - A comma-separated list of specific routing values
`scroll`	`string` - Specify how long a consistent view of the index should be maintained for scrolled search
`search_type` or `searchType`	`'query_then_fetch' \| 'dfs_query_then_fetch'` - Search operation type
`search_timeout` or `searchTimeout`	`string` - Explicit timeout for each search request. Defaults to no timeout.
`size`	`number` - Number of hits to return (default: 10)
`sort`	`string \| string[]` - A comma-separated list of <field>:<direction> pairs
`_source`	`string \| string[]` - True or false to return the _source field or not, or a list of fields to return
`_source_exclude` or `_sourceExclude`	`string \| string[]` - A list of fields to exclude from the returned _source field
`_source_include` or `_sourceInclude`	`string \| string[]` - A list of fields to extract and return from the _source field
`terminate_after` or `terminateAfter`	`number` - The maximum number of documents to collect for each shard, upon reaching which the query execution will terminate early.
`stats`	`string \| string[]` - Specific tag of the request for logging and statistical purposes
`version`	`boolean` - Specify whether to return document version as part of a hit
`request_cache` or `requestCache`	`boolean` - Specify if request cache should be used for this request or not, defaults to index level setting
`refresh`	`boolean` - Should the effected indexes be refreshed?
`timeout`	`string` - Time each individual bulk request should wait for shards that are unavailable. Default: `1m`
`wait_for_active_shards` or `waitForActiveShards`	`string` - Sets the number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the delete by query operation. Defaults to 1, meaning the primary shard only. Set to `all` for all shard copies, otherwise set to any non-negative value less than or equal to the total number of copies for the shard (number of replicas + 1)
`scroll_size` or `scrollSize`	`number` - Size on the scroll request powering the update_by_query
`wait_for_completion` or `waitForCompletion`	`boolean` - Should the request should block until the delete-by-query is complete. Default: `true`
`requests_per_second` or `requestsPerSecond`	`number` - The throttle for this request in sub-requests per second. -1 means no throttle.
`slices`	`number` - The number of slices this task should be divided into. Defaults to 1 meaning the task isn’t sliced into subtasks. Default: `1`
`body`	`object` - The search definition using the Query DSL
