How to route query to specific shard?

[HenleyChiu]

How do I route a query to a specific shard? Note: I don't want to change the mapping of my type or index at all. I want it to happen in query time.

Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure whether this can be done considering your "Note".

You should have indexed the document with a routing parameter or atleast you should have created aliases using routing while creating the index itself.

Until and unless you index the document with a routing parameter you cannot search it with routing. Its mutual, you index with routing, I give results with routing. You index without routing, I give results without routing.
