Elasticsearch search is very slow and some times search is not working accurately in application.

Elasticsearch version: 5.6.5  
OS: CentOS, version: 7  
HeapSize: 28Gb

My cluster Health  
`{ "cluster_name" : "app-prdx", "status" : "green", "timed_out" : false, "number_of_nodes" : 9, "number_of_data_nodes" : 3, "active_primary_shards" : 2, "active_shards" : 6, "relocating_shards" : 0, "initializing_shards" : 0, "unassigned_shards" : 0, "delayed_unassigned_shards" : 0, "number_of_pending_tasks" : 0, "number_of_in_flight_fetch" : 0, "task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis" : 0, "active_shards_percent_as_number" : 100.0 }`

My Index details:

You will need to be a little more descriptive on what you mean here.

Slow in what sense? How are you measuring it? Are you monitoring your cluster?  
Not accurate how?
