Hits.hits array empty even thought total =1

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a node app using the javascript api.

even the the query returns a hit. I get the following response

"hits": {

  "total": 1,

  "max_score": 14.627042,

  "hits": []

}

how can the hits array be empty when the total shows 1.. If I run the query
in sense I get the expected result.

By default, elasticsearch starts showing its Query results from pageNum as 0 and the search query we define generally start from pageNum as 1. Ensure that if you are setting the pageNum, it is set to 0 in case you have the resultset within the pageSize limit.

I was facing the same issue where I could see total_hits as 1 with empty array being returned. I found that I was setting the default pageNum to 1 ,however elasticsearch starts it from 0 and hence was returning the second page when queried with pageNum as 1
