+==== Templated search
+
+A search template is a stored search that you can run with different variables. Search templates let you change your searches without modifying your application code.
+
+Before running a template search, you first have to create the template. This is a stored script that returns the search request body, and is usually defined as a Mustache template. This stored script can be created outside the application, and also with the {java-client}:

+<1> Identifier of the template script to create.
+
+To use the search template, use the `searchTemplate` method to refer to the script and provide values for its parameters:
