Hi everyone,

Here is a sample document I have with document id as string datatype. For one of my query I was expecting ~1000 records but the returned count is 10 documents less. I wanted to understand why some documents were not returned.

Have tried to use \_explain API, however the API expects document id to be string, [Explain API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.4] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-explain.html)

Is there any other way to find why a document was not returned for a query ?

```auto
{
    "id": "test"
    "field1": "",
    "field2": ""
}

```
