Hi David, Finally some success 🙂 thank you. After closing and restarting IE, and running the command line with `--restart` the \_status.js file updated the index count to 3. I then went back to Kibana and ran the search and hey presto all the text came back. Now the only thing I need to be able to do is bring back the path/filename of the actual file. ---
