Search is the call you’ll probably use the most, as it exposes Elasticsearch’s key functionality: search!

Fluent DSLedit

var result = client.Search<ElasticsearchProject>(s => s
    .From(0)
    .Size(50)
    .Query(q => ....)
    .Filter(f => ....)
);

Object Initializer Syntaxedit

var searchRequest = new SearchRequest
{
    From = 0,
    Size = 50,
    Query = ...
    Filter = ...
};

var result = client.Search<ElasticsearchProject>(searchRequest);

Handling the Search responseedit

.Search<T> returns an ISearchResponse<T> which has a Hits property.

Hits is an IEnumerable<IHit<T>>. IHit<T> contains a Source property which holds the original document T), along with other meta deta from Elasticsearch such as Id, Score, Version, Index, Type, Sorts, Highlights and Explanation.

See Search Basics section for more information.
