Hi.  
I meet such interesting issue, I have created 3 indices named as below  
es-os-complex-neo-000001  
es-os-complex-neo-000002  
es-os-complex-neo-yudyang,

when I try to get index using the specific name in dev tools, it works as expected:  
GET es-os-complex-neo-000001

however, when I try to get info using wildcard, I get an empty response  
GET es-os-complex-neo-\*

when I use GET /\_all to get all indices, I could not get the indices yet

Is there anyone meet the similar issue before or could give me a hand ?
