Hello friends  
There are more than 1 million docs in the index.  
At this time, when information is obtained through match\_all, the total value is displayed as 10,000.  
How can I check the number of doc?

I know that more than 10,000 cases in Elasticsearch cannot be viewed.  
Currently, I am developing with c++ and I would appreciate your help.

[`track_total_hits`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-your-data.html#track-total-hits) would help you.

Or you can use [count API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-count.html), too.

```auto
GET /my_index/_count

```

thx bro.  
I'm always receiving a lot of help.

query first "track\_total\_hits": true insert to I solved it through.

I would appreciate it if you could continue to help me 😃  
I'm worried if my gratitude was delivered well because my English was poor.
