Request specific optionsedit

If needed you can pass request specific options in a second object:

// promise API
const result = await client.search({
  index: 'my-index',
  body: {
    query: {
      match: { hello: 'world' }
    }
  }
}, {
  ignore: [404],
  maxRetries: 3
})

// callback API
client.search({
  index: 'my-index',
  body: {
    query: {
      match: { hello: 'world' }
    }
  }
}, {
  ignore: [404],
  maxRetries: 3
}, (err, { body }) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
})
