Thanks, Mat!
Just tried:
no indices:
{
"took" : 2,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 0,
"successful" : 0,
"skipped" : 0,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : {
"value" : 0,
"relation" : "eq"
},
"max_score" : 0.0,
"hits" : [ ]
}
}
thank you for the ideas to try - I am going in circles on this one
