How do you debug your Nest queries?

I like to take it a step further than bsarkar suggests and eliminate the need for a roundtrip altogether:

var client = new ElasticClient();

var seriesSearch = new SearchDescriptor();
seriesSearch.Filter(f => f
    .Term(t => t.ReleasableTo.First(), Role.Visitor))
    .SortDescending(ser => ser.EndDate)
    .Size(1));

string searchJson = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(client.Serializer.Serialize(seriesSearch));

Note that your ElasticClient doesn't need any connection properties, so you have no dependency on an ES node.
