How to implement ElasticSearch new index creation after every fix number of days?

How to implement ElasticSearch new index creation after every fix number of days and if its possible then how to search over all the previous indexes? Currently we have only one index which has all the data. I looked at the RollOver API of ES, is this the correct way? But the problem seems when we want to search for some data in previous indexes, how this can be done? Any answers are appreciated, Thanks.

Yes, you are on the correct path, for searching into your old indices, you can link multiple indices to one alias, using alias API, and instead of searching for a single index, you need to search again the unified alias.

Refer to this official example on how to link multiple indices to the same alias(alias1 in the below example)

POST /_aliases

{
  "actions" : [
    { "add" : { "index" : "test1", "alias" : "alias1" } },
    { "add" : { "index" : "test2", "alias" : "alias1" } }
  ]
}
