I'm currently trying to find all children of parents that match certain query using the following has\_parent query:

```
GET my_index*/_search
{
  "query": {
    "has_parent": {
      "parent_type": "threat",
      "query": {
        "term": {
          "type.keyword": {
            "value": "ip"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

But it returns no hits, even with a match\_all query.

The mapping of the index is as follows:

```
"my_index" : {
    "mappings" : {
      "doc" : {
        "properties" : {
          "@timestamp" : {

                "ignore_above" : 256
              }
            }
          },

            "type" : "text",
            "fields" : {

                "ignore_above" : 256
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

```

As you can see, the hierarchy field is a join field, with "threat" defined as parent of "date". I don't see any problem with this. Does anyone know what could be happening?

Thanks!

Hey,

providing a minimal example, that includes index creation, document indexing and only the absolutely minimal mapping required to reproduce would help others to take a closer look here.

Also the Elasticsearch version you are using is always super helpful!

Thanks a lot!
