Elasticsearch use index(analyzer) only

I'm doing a query that should result with True/False, if there's at least one result for this query True else False, no extra data is needed.

Is there a way to query Elasticsearch so it will use only the index(analyzer) and return results by it? so it won't reach the real data blocks for the results?

Set the size = 0 in query and check hits.total > 0 for to check whether there is any result or not.

{
    "size":0,
    "query": {
        // your search
    }
}

In your query add "_source": "false". Like this:

{"_source": "false",
 "query": ...
}

This will only search for hits and won't access the stored fields for retrieval.
