will a $[input] work in a query string similar to below.? I want to replace query:‘The Outsider’ with query: $[input] and place the ‘The Outsider’ in the body of a postman post request.

var query = {  
query: {  
match: {  
title: {  
query: ‘The Outsider’,  
},  
},  
},  
};

var response = await client.search({  
index: index\_name,  
body: query,  
});
