Elastic/Opensearch uses GET requests with a body for search, which is complicated or forbidden (not exactly sure) with the HTTP spec. Not all HTTP clients are willing to submit a body with a GET.

So opensearch also allows you to POST search requests, but those are uncacheable

QUERY would fit here perfectly - it's probably trivial for opensearch to add but it will take some time for clients to catch up.
