Hi, i try to use the es php module. I can indexing documents but when i search for something i got an error and dont know what this mean. I use this script: \ 'abc'); $params['index'] = 'my\_index'; $params['type'] = 'my\_type'; $params['id'] = 'my\_id'; // Document will be indexed to my\_index/my\_type/my\_id $ret = $client-\>index($params); /\*\* \* SEARCH \*\*/ $params['index'] = 'my\_index'; $params['type'] = 'my\_type'; $results = $client-\>search($params); ?\> AND THE ERROR MESSAGE IS: _Fatal error_: Uncaught exception 'Elasticsearch\Common\Exceptions\UnexpectedValueException' with message 'id is not a valid parameter' in /var/www/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Endpoints/AbstractEndpoint.php:263 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Endpoints/AbstractEndpoint.php(239): Elasticsearch\Endpoints\AbstractEndpoint-\>ifParamsInvalidThrowException(Array) #1 /var/www/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Endpoints/AbstractEndpoint.php(115): Elasticsearch\Endpoints\AbstractEndpoint-\>checkUserParams(Array) #2 /var/www/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Client.php(1009): Elasticsearch\Endpoints\AbstractEndpoint-\>setParams(Array) #3 /var/www/awesome/index.php(23): Elasticsearch\Client-\>search(Array) #4 {main} thrown in _/var/www/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/src/Elasticsearch/Endpoints/AbstractEndpoint.php_ on line _263Maybe someone knows what this could be.

Hey, my PHP skills are next to none, but if you dont clear out that params array, dont you try to execute the search operation with exactly the same as the index operation (which will very likely fail, as id is not a valid parameter for a search, as mentioned in the error message)? --Alex On Fri, Jun 27, 2014 at 1:51 PM, Stefan Kruse [besucher80@gmx.de](mailto:besucher80@gmx.de) wrote: > Hi, i try to use the es php module.
