Hi everyone, As I know that when we create a document, this document will be indexed asynchronously as mentioned here [Documents API | Elastic App Search Documentation [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/documents.html#documents-create). So when I create the document, it returns an id and I perform a search with id filter immediately, usually, it will return no result for this id. However, when I get the document by id with that endpoint [Documents API | Elastic App Search Documentation [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/documents.html#documents-params-get), it looks like that I can always get back the document by the newly created id. So is it correct, could I make use of it to overcome the not found result above? Thank you. ---

As those docs say; > **The documents are indexed asynchronously.** > > **There will be a processing delay before they are available to your Engine.** You will need to put in a bit of a wait for your search. ---

> [@ntruongsinh](#): > > Documents API | Elastic App Search Documentation [7.15] | Elastic Hi @warkolm , you're right, we need to wait a little bit before searching, but how about this one [Documents API | App Search documentation [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/documents.html#documents-params-get), do we need to wait? ---

Yes, because that page still says there's a delay. ---

Hi @warkolm , yeah I want to confirm because I did 2 test cases: - Create and search with id filter -\> return no result - Create and get by id -\> having the result. So I feel that we don't need to wait to call get by id. ---

No you don't. This is how Elasticsearch works, [Near real-time search | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.15/near-real-time.html) goes into that more. ---

I see. Thank you so much, @warkolm. Let me take a look at Elasticsearch for more information. ---

Hi @warkolm , After debugging and investigating, I saw that for the get by id [Documents API | Elastic App Search Documentation [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/documents.html#documents-params-get), it will trigger a multiget in Elasticsearch. ```auto GET http://elasticsearch:9200/.ent-search-engine-documents-abc/_mget" { "ids":[ "2aa83e11-ddf6-4336-81b8-bb9f72984acd" ] } ``` And as Elasticsearch document said that: [Get API | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-get.html#realtime) ([Multi get (mget) API | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-multi-get.html#docs-multi-get-api-query-params) the same mechanism) So it looks like that my assumption is correct. Could you help me double-check that? ---

A get will always return the document, yes. ---
