Methods targeting an indexName

Prior to the initIndex removal stated in the common breaking changes, all methods previously available at the initIndex level requires the indexName to be sent with the query.

js
import { algoliasearch } from 'algoliasearch';
const client = algoliasearch('<YOUR_APP_ID>', '<YOUR_API_KEY>');
// only query string
const searchResults = await client.search({
  requests: [
    {
      indexName: '<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>',
      query: '<YOUR_QUERY>',
    },
  ],
});
// with params
const searchResults2 = await client.search({
  requests: [
    {
      indexName: '<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>',
      query: '<YOUR_QUERY>',
      attributesToRetrieve: ['firstname', 'lastname'],
      hitsPerPage: 50,
    },
  ],
});
