Request failed with HTTP code 400 | Server said: Query string exceeds max allowed length of 4000. Use the /multi_search end-point for larger payloads.

Can we increase this limit ?

It's not configurable for security reasons. The multi_search endpoint provides the same functionality though, except for the POST method
