The query below gets a reference to the index named "spells_by_element".

client.Query(
    Index("spells_by_element")
);
RefV(id = "spells_by_element", collection = RefV(id = "indexes"))
result, err := client.Query(
	f.Index("spells_by_element"))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
{spells_by_element 0xc00017c090 0xc00017c090 <nil>}
System.out.println(
    client.query(
        Index(Value("spells_by_element"))
    ).get());
ref(id = "spells_by_element", collection = ref(id = "indexes"))
client.query(
  q.Index('spells_by_element')
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error('Error: %s', err))
Index("spells_by_element")
result = client.query(
  q.index("spells_by_element")
)
print(result)
Ref(id=spells_by_element, collection=Ref(id=indexes))
client.query(Index("spells_by_element"))
ref(id = "spells_by_element", collection = ref(id = "indexes"))
