I have more than 500 documents. While executing more\_like\_this query  
elasticsearch returning zero results.  
Below is my query.

POST /espoc/\_search  
{  
"from": 0,  
"size": 2,  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"more\_like\_this": {  
"fields": [  
"subject",  
"body",  
"contentbase64"  
],  
"docs": [  
{  
"\_index": "espoc",  
"\_type": "mail",  
"\_id": "07e028bf-02c7-48d8-980f-f870dee70c4f"  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"filter": {  
"or": [  
{  
"term": {  
"userId": "8a40b965-c061-4fa9-aba0-4228c3b12f28"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
},

Issue is solved by adding \*\_routing \*value in every \*docs \*object. If we  
using routing while indexing documents we have to use the \*\_routing \*value  
in every \*docs \*object instead of specifying it in url [POST /espoc/\_search?  
\*\_routing=\*\*\*\*\*].
