Okay, so I have indexed these documents (they are seen with normal  
match\_all search):

- hits: {
  - total: 4
  - max\_score: 1
  - hits: [
    - {
      - \_index: posts\_test\_20131208153023965
      - \_type: post/comment
      - \_id: 1
      - \_score: 1
      - \_source: {
        - search\_class: comment
        - target\_users: [
          - 0  
]

        - created\_at: 2013-11-21T15:26:11.000+01:00  
}  
},

    - {
      - \_index: posts\_test\_20131208153023965
      - \_type: post/request
      - \_id: 4
      - \_score: 1
      - \_source: {
        - search\_class: request
        - target\_users: [
          - 0  
]

        - created\_at: 2013-12-08T15:26:11.000+01:00  
}  
},

    - {
      - \_index: posts\_test\_20131208153023965
      - \_type: post/user\_registration
      - \_id: 7
      - \_score: 1
      - \_source: {
        - search\_class: notice
        - target\_users: [
          - 0  
]

        - created\_at: 2013-12-08T15:26:12.000+01:00  
}  
},

    - {
      - \_index: posts\_test\_20131208153023965
      - \_type: post/hehe
      - \_id: 8
      - \_score: 1
      - \_source: {
        - search\_class: hehe
        - target\_users: [
          - 1  
]

        - created\_at: 2013-12-08T15:30:14.000+01:00  
}  
}  
]  
}

When I filter this search over search\_class: 'hehe', search\_class:  
'request', search\_class: 'comment', I get one result (post/hehe,  
post/request or post/comment). Example:  
{  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"filter": {  
"term": {  
"search\_class": "request"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

- hits: {
  - total: 1
  - max\_score: 1
  - hits: [
    - {
      - \_index: posts\_test\_20131208153023965
      - \_type: post/request
      - \_id: 4
      - \_score: 1
      - \_source: {
        - search\_class: request
        - target\_users: [
          - 0  
]

        - created\_at: 2013-12-08T15:26:11.000+01:00  
}  
}  
]  
}

But when I will change the phrase "request" to "notice", I get no hits:  
{  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"filter": {  
"term": {  
"search\_class": "notice"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

- hits: {
  - total: 0
  - max\_score: null
  - hits: []  
}

The only difference is changing the name from "notice" to "request" !  
Why?

I have already refreshed the index, and tried to add those documents in  
different order, or change the "notice" name to other name (f.e.  
"notification"), but still, I get the same result.

I cannot reproduce the problem. Would you mind sending a complete curl  
recreation with the indexing, refresh and search that doesn't return the  
expected result?

I'll try to send you that today.

I also noticed that my cluster is in yellow health (it was in red,but I  
managed to get it to yellow after deleting some indexes). Maybe that's the  
problem?

Thanks, I'll wait for your recreation.  
The red status could be the problem, the yellow is not as yellow just means  
that some replicas cannot be allocated (if for instance you have a single  
node no replicas can be allocated).

After I changed search\_class from "notice" to anything else like "foobar",  
it solved the problem =)

Both "notice" and "notification" words made the record not to be found,  
when queried by the search\_class column. Strange - are they some kind of  
reserved words in elasticsearch?

As I said before I couldn't reproduce your problem with your same words.  
Would be nice if you can send a curl recreation. Maybe the problem is in  
your mappings.

Well, the models were autogenerated with ruby library called Tire[https://github.com/karmi/retire](https://github.com/karmi/retire),  
so I don't have any curl recreation (at least for now).

Currently my problem is solved, so I think we can skip this issue. Thank  
you for your help.
