Hi, I am trying to use JSON builder to get some documents from elasticsearch db. ``` IndexResponse response = client.prepareIndex("asset_index", "Asset" ``` ).setSource( ``` *jsonBuilder*().startObject().field("name", "FCC_SRV02" ``` ).endObject()).execute().actionGet(); I am getting IndexResponse. How can I convert IndexResponse to SearchResponse so I retrieve _SearchHit_[] Regards, Janusz -- ---

Hi Janusz, Indexing is a different operation than searching. So, after indexing a doc, you have to GET it or SEARCH it. Have a look here: > [https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/answers/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/ex1/IndexTest.java#L69](https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/answers/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/ex1/IndexTest.java#L69) > [https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/answers/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/ex2/SearchTest.java#L268](https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/answers/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/ex2/SearchTest.java#L268) [https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/answers/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/ex2/SearchTest.java](https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/answers/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/ex2/SearchTest.java) HTH David.

Sorry David. I feel a bit embarrassed by this question – you are obviously right - I just did not click that this code is actually creating index and not searching. Thanks for the reply and clarification.

Just a new clarification about the terms you use. This command does not _create an index_ but _index a document_. ## Cheers David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 10 janv. 2013 à 03:49, JD [jdalecki@tycoint.com](mailto:jdalecki@tycoint.com) a écrit : Sorry David.

Yep - correct. Thanks David for all your replies.
