Hello , I am using msearch

like this doc -

> **[Multi search API | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-multi-search.html)**

well it is working in kibana .  
but when I try to do it , in php . does not work .

this is my test code -

```auto
  $this->elasticSeacrh->msearch([
                                                ['index' => 'index-test-one'],
                                                [ 'body' => [
                                                    'query' => [
                                                        'match_all' => new \stdClass()
                                                    ]
                                                ]],
                                                ['index' => 'index-test-two'],
                                                [ 'body' => [
                                                    'query' => [
                                                        'match_all' => new \stdClass()
                                                    ]
                                                ]]
                                            ]);

```

it gives his error -

```auto
{"message":"The parameter body is required","errors":{"message":["The parameter body is required"]}}

```

I Tried like this as well -

```auto
$response = $this->elasticSeacrh->msearch([
            'body' => [
                ['index' => 'index-test-one'],
                ["query" => [
                    'match_all' => new \stdClass()
                ]],

                ['index' => 'index-test-two'],
                ["query" => [
                    'match_all' => new \stdClass()
                ]],
            ]
        ]);

```

it returns this

```auto

    [response:protected] => GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response Object
        (
            [reasonPhrase:GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response:private] => OK

                        (

It seams to bring always empty result M Search in PHP .

USING SEARCH -

```auto
   $response = $elasticSeacrh->search(['index' => 'index-test-one',
            'size' => 4, // how many results *per shard* you want back
            'body' => [
                'query' => [
                    'match_all' => new \stdClass()
                ]
            ]
        ]);
        dd($response['hits']);

```

RESULT

```auto
^ array:3 [▼
  "total" => array:2 [▶]
  "max_score" => 1.0
  "hits" => array:4 [▼
    0 => array:4 [▶]
    1 => array:4 [▶]
    2 => array:4 [▶]
    3 => array:4 [▶]
  ]
]

```

BUT using MSEARCH , does not work , always bringing empty result -

USING MSEARCH -

```auto
 $response = $elasticSeacrh->msearch(['body' => [
            ['index' => 'metric-property-broker-daily-2023-06'],
            ['size' => 4, 'query' => ['match_all' => new \stdClass()]]
        ]]);

        dd($response['hits']);

```

RESULT

```auto
Undefined array key "hits"

```
