How do you debug your Nest queries?

Question

I\'m new to Nest, and I very likely am not creating my query like I think I am. My question is more along the lines of teach a man to fish rather than give me a fish. However,

Answer 1

Really easily. If this is my code that searches:

var results = client.Search(s => s.AllIndices()
    .Query(q =>
            q.Term(p => p.LastName, searchItem.LastName)
            && q.Term(p => p.FirstName, searchItem.FirstName)
            && q.Term(p => p.ApplicationCode, searchItem.ApplicationCode)
            )
    .Size(1000)
    );
var list = results.Documents.ToList();

I then set a breakpoint on the line above. Then, in Visual Studio Immediate Window, I enter this:

?results.ConnectionStatus

and it gives me this:

{StatusCode: 200, 
    Method: POST, 
    Url: http://localhost:9200/_all/searchitem/_search, 
    Request: {
  "size": 1000,
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "term": {
            "lastName": {
              "value": "carr"
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "term": {
            "firstName": {
              "value": "adrian"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Hope this helps.
