Hi guys,
I'm a bit stuck on a problem I don't understand. I'm basically doing the following, using the Java Client API in ES 7.17:
```auto
RestClient restClient = RestClient.builder("...some url...")
.setHttpClientConfigCallback(httpClientBuilder -> httpClientBuilder
.useSystemProperties()
.build();
this.transport = new RestClientTransport(
restClient, new JacksonJsonpMapper());
this.client = new ElasticsearchClient(this.transport);
...
client.index(builder -> builder
.index(ElasticsearchClientManager.INDEX)
.document(ping)
);
...
SearchResponse search = client.search(s -> s
.index(ElasticsearchClientManager.INDEX)
, Ping.class);
//Thread.sleep(10000L);
assertEquals(1, search.hits().hits().size());
```
As you can see I'm not using an Async Client. Yet the assertEquals fails (I get 0 hits). And that's true even if I uncomment the `Thread.sleep()` line.
However, if I put a breakpoint in my IDE on the assertEquals line and go through it, it works.
Any clue for me? 🙂
Thanks!

Remember that if you want to search right after having indexed some documents, you need to refresh the index. Recommended only for integration tests.

ok cool, didn't know that (and yes I'm writing integration tests :)). I don't remember doing any refresh in the past but maybe the framework I was using was doing it (JestClient).
Thanks @dadoonet that was super helpful and I got it to work by inserting:
```auto
client.indices().refresh();
```
