Here is a sample query that I run against my indices.

Search(x, index = c("index1", "index2", "index3"), q = "Test", size = 1000)$hits$hits

This works fine if all the three indices are present. Even if one of them is not present, I get

Error: 404 - no such index [index3]

In Elastic search API documentation here, I see that there is a parameter ignore_unavailable which when passed as TRUE will ignore missing indices and return the results only for those that are available. This doesn't work when I pass the same to my search query as follows:

Search(x, index = c("index1", "index2", "index3"), q = "Test", size = 1000, ignore_unavailable = TRUE)$hits$hits

Is there a way I can achieve this?

Thanks for the issue. I don't see it in the rendered docs for Elasticsearch, which is weird, but I tried adding the parameter and it does seem to work, so I'll push that up.

Note that the ellipsis (...) is meant for curl options as the docs state, but unfortunately allows non curl options to be passed and silently ignored.

added the parameter, re-install and try again

I removed the package, installed from GitHub and tried again. Still doesn't seem to work.

Did you restart R?
