I had a problem with [ElasticSearch](https://tekslate.com/elasticsearch-training) and Rails, where some data was not indexed properly because of attr\_protected. Where does Elastic Search store the indexed data? It would be useful to check if the actual indexed data is wrong. Checking the mapping with Tire.index('models').mapping does not help, the field is listed. Thanks, Richa. ---

You can directly hit Elasticsearch's REST APIs. More specifically, the [Search API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-search.html) ---
