Hello everyone, I believe I've found a bug concerning bool queries and bool filters. Should't the these queries return the same number of hits? [http://pastebin.com/twyMX4cD](http://pastebin.com/twyMX4cD) I have the need of making some counts and they must be very fast, so I've mixed a filtered query with the \_count endpoint to try and increase my performance (It Didn't by the way), but I've started to get the wrong results (the two queries return different number of hits). Am I missing something? Or this is indeed a bug? Thanks in advance, Matheus Salvia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

What version of ES are you running? Recently a few bugs have been fixed with the has\_child filter.
