                      </div>
                    

Run multiple templated searches with a single request.
If you are providing a text file or text input to `curl`, use the `--data-binary` flag instead of `-d` to preserve newlines.
For example:

```
$ cat requests
{ "index": "my-index" }
{ "id": "my-search-template", "params": { "query_string": "hello world", "from": 0, "size": 10 }}
{ "index": "my-other-index" }
{ "id": "my-other-search-template", "params": { "query_type": "match_all" }}

$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -XGET localhost:9200/_msearch/template --data-binary "@requests"; echo
```

## Parameters

### Path parameters
- **index** (string | array[string])
  A comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases to search.
  It supports wildcards (`*`).
  To search all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use `*`.

### Query parameters
- **ccs_minimize_roundtrips** (boolean)
  If `true`, network round-trips are minimized for cross-cluster search requests.
- **max_concurrent_searches** (number)
  The maximum number of concurrent searches the API can run.
- **search_type** (string)
  The type of the search operation.

  Supported values include:
    - `query_then_fetch`: Documents are scored using local term and document frequencies for the shard. This is usually faster but less accurate.
    - `dfs_query_then_fetch`: Documents are scored using global term and document frequencies across all shards. This is usually slower but more accurate.

- **rest_total_hits_as_int** (boolean)
  If `true`, the response returns `hits.total` as an integer.
  If `false`, it returns `hits.total` as an object.
- **typed_keys** (boolean)
  If `true`, the response prefixes aggregation and suggester names with their respective types.

### Body: application/json (array[object])



## Responses
### 200


#### Body: application/json (object)
