NEST DefaultIndex ConnectionSettings.DefaultIndex() is ignored

[guillaume86]

I use NEST 2.0.4 (last Nuget release) and it looks like the DefaultIndex parameter is ignored when doing a Search query.

        var node = new Uri(settings.Server); // workaround: + "/logstash-*/"
        var connectionSettings = new ConnectionSettings(node)
            .DefaultIndex("logstash-*")
            .DefaultFieldNameInferrer(p => p)
            .OnRequestCompleted(info => 
            {
                // info.Uri is /_search/ without the default index
                // my ES instance throws an error on the .kibana index (@timestamp field not mapped because I sort on @timestamp) 
            });

        var client = new ElasticClient(connectionSettings);
        var response = client.Search<ESLogEvent>(...);

I can workaround by giving the index in the base URL but it's just a ugly hack.

Side note: IApiCallDetails contains null for request and body bytes, is it expected?

This happens when you use the untyped SearchRequest() {} in place of the ... your example:

var response = client.Search<ESLogEvent>(new SearchRequest() {});

new SearchRequest<T>() and the fluent interface s=>s will both default the /{infered_index}/{inferred_type}/_search

See the attached test that showcases this behavior

The xmldocs should mention what kind of path you are building.

Thanks!

Is there any way to override this behaviour for untyped SearchRequest or at least specify index for SearchRequest object after it was created? I use wrapper class for ElasticClient and want to specify default index for SearchRequest object passed to my wrapper class so I can't pass it to SearchRequest constructor.
