Search multiple collections with mongoosastic

Question

In a Node.js application, i am using Mongoosastic to retrieve data from ElasticSearch :

Article.search({
  "match_all": {}
}, function (err, results) {
  console.log(results.hits.hits);
  Post.search({
    "match_all": {}
  }, function (err, results) {
    console.log(results.hits.hits);
    return next();
  });
});

Here i am making two requests to retrieve data from two different collections. I would like to know if it was the good way to do it ?

Is it possible to search data from the two collections (or multiple collections) in one single request ? (with the multi search API for example, but with Mongoosastic).

Thank you.

Looks like we can't do it with Mongoosastic.

In fact, the project define itself in the GitHub page as :

a mongoose plugin that can automatically index your models into elasticsearch

So i use it to define my indexes, but to do search queries it works fine with the official javascript client.
