SEARCH method

GraphQL uses POST for queries

POST /query HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/graphql

{
  hero {
    friends {
      id
      name
      height
    }
  }
}						
					

Elasticsearch uses GET with body for queries

GET /_search HTTP/1.1

{
  "query": { 
    "bool": { 
      "must": [
        { "match": { "title":   "Search"        }}, 
        { "match": { "content": "Elasticsearch" }}  
      ],
      "filter": [ 
        { "term":  { "status": "published" }}, 
        { "range": { "publish_date": { "gte": "2015-01-01" }}} 
      ]
    }
  }
}
