# Indices Query > More info about indices query is in the [official elasticsearch docs][1] 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. ## Simple example ```JSON { "indices" : { "indices" : ["index1", "index2"], "query" : { "term" : { "tag" : "wow" } }, "no_match_query" : { "term" : { "tag" : "kow" } } } } ``` In DSL: ```php $matchTermQuery = new TermQuery('tag', 'wow'); $noMatchTermQuery = new TermQuery('tag', 'kow'); $indicesQuery = new IndicesQuery(['index1', 'index2'], $matchTermQuery, $noMatchTermQuery); $search = new Search(); $search->addQuery($indicesQuery); $queryArray = $search->toArray(); ``` [1]: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-indices-query.html
