+To get the right environment, first you can get a python REPL with something like
+
+: env GN2_PROFILE=~/opt/gn-latest ./bin/genenetwork2 ../etc/default_settings.py -cli python
+
+(make sure to use the correct GN2_PROFILE!)
+
+Next try

+from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, TransportError
+
+es = Elasticsearch([{ "host": 'localhost', "port": '9200' }])
+
+# Dump all data
+
+es.search("*")
+
+# To fetch an E-mail record from the users index

+record = es.search(
+            index = 'users', doc_type = 'local', body = {
+                "query": { "match": { "email_address": "myname@email.com" } }

+q = { "query": { "wildcard" : { "full_name" : "pjot*" } }}
+es.search(index = 'users', doc_type = 'local', body = q)
