=== Indices Query

The `indices` query can be used when executed across multiple indices,
allowing to have a query that executes only when executed on an index
that matches a specific list of indices, and another query that executes
when it is executed on an index that does not match the listed indices.

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "indices" : {
        "indices" : ["index1", "index2"],
        "query" : {
            "term" : { "tag" : "wow" }
        },
        "no_match_query" : {
            "term" : { "tag" : "kow" }
        }
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------

`no_match_query` can also have "string" value of `none` (to match no
documents), and `all` (to match all).
