How to search in Elastic by post titleconcerptcontent?

Im trying to make Wordpress to search in Elastic by some restriction:

$args['ep_integrate'] = true;

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function( $query ) {
    // what to write here to search in "title", "excerpt", "content" only?
});

$query = new WP_Query($args);

I was tryting to modify the query:

$args['ep_integrate'] = true;

add_action('posts_where', function($where) {
    return ' posts.ID = 234234';
    // return ' post_title LIKE "%paff%" OR post_contents LIKE "%paff%" OR post_excerpt LIKE "%paff%";
}, 10,2);

$query = new WP_Query($args);

but its like I didnt set anything, it still returns bunch of result instead of one.

• I see you are using WP_Query and WordPress by default searches the post title, excerpt and content when the s parameter is specified.. – Sally CJ Commented Oct 25, 2019 at 16:59
• then again, it returns tons of irrelevant results – user177354 Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 8:40
• Try asking/searching on the Elastic's forums/site. Questions specific to 3rd party plugins like Elastic are off-topic here. – Sally CJ Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 8:52

posts_where is a filter, not an action. Also you should concatenate your modification with the query and return $where. Look at the reference.
