Hi, I'm trying to perform a search on all the indices for a given type and I get a missing index error. curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_all/log/\_search?q=user:john.doe](http://localhost:9200/_all/log/_search?q=user:john.doe)' {"error":"IndexMissingException[[\_all] missing]","status":404} This syntax is described in the documentation : [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/indices-types.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/indices-types.html) curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_search?q=user:john.doe](http://localhost:9200/_search?q=user:john.doe)' is working but on all types Tested with 0.19.9. Is this the expected behaviour ? Is there another method to search on all indices for a type ? Thanks for your support ! -- ---

It could be relative to this issue: > > > curl http://localhost:9200/\_all/\_status > {"error":"IndexMissingException\[\[\_all\] m…issing\]","status":404} > > Works in 0.19.8 > > Looks like /\_status does work, is /\_all/\_status no longer supported on purpose? http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-status.html kind of says it should still work, but not clear.
