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,
Using the latest elastic search 5+, I was able to get mine (thanks to Adrian Carr's method) with the following:
var jsonOutput = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString( response.ApiCall.RequestBodyInBytes )
Which gave me the following output:
{ "from":0, "size":0, "query":{ "bool":{ ... } } }
