Description
Current ES search requests will return an error if one or more selected indices can not be found.
It would be better make it possible to handle this situation more gracefully.
The `allow_partial_search_results` parameter could be used to allow partial search results.
The `allow_no_indices` parameter may help when no indices could be found.
