.First, Register queries named “alert-1” and “alert-2” for the “myindex” index [source,js] --------- client.index({ index: 'myindex', type: '.percolator', id: 'alert-1', body: { // This query will be run against documents sent to percolate query: { query_string: { query: 'foo' } } } }, function (error, response) { // ... }); client.index({ index: 'myindex', type: '.percolator', id: 'alert-2', body: { // This query will also be run against documents sent to percolate query: { query_string: { query: 'bar' } } } }, function (error, response) { // ... }); --------- .Then you can send documents to learn which query `_percolator` queries they match [source,js] --------- client.percolate({ index: 'myindex', type: 'mytype', body: { doc: { title: "Foo" } } }, function (error, response) { // response would equal // { // total: 1, // matches: [ { _index: 'myindex', _id: 'alert-1' } ] // } }); client.percolate({ index: 'myindex', type: 'mytype', body: { doc: { title: "Foo Bar" } } }, function (error, response) { // response would equal // { // total: 2, // matches: [ // { _index: 'myindex', _id: 'alert-1' }, // { _index: 'myindex', _id: 'alert-2' } // ] // } }); ---------
