Multisearch query problems

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi:
I am attempting to do multisearch with Elasticsearch and it is causing
me problems. I generate my queries using php and also use php curl to
interface with my server which is running Elasticsearch 0.19.4. There are
a couple of issues I am encountering:

  1. the first is, I am trying to do a count with a multi search query, so my
    generated url eventually looks like this:

http://localhost:9200/profile/user/_msearch?search_type=count

with this setup, i expect that when I run my multi search query, it will
return to me a responses array with just the count. But my the behavior is
inconsistent. it returns my entire document for one of my queries and the
normal results for my other queries.

  1. multisearch does not return responses to all my queries. For example, I
    sent six queries seperated by a newline to multisearch and I get back in my
    reponses array three responses with inconsistent results.

has anybody successfully used multisearch with php?

BTW..this works just fine with individual searches..its only when i try to
do multisearch that i run into problems.

So, I got it working. The trick was to put the search type as the header
for each individual query. i was trying to be economical and put it once in
the url like you can do for individual requests, but that does not work.

Could you open an issue for this? I think it should be supported
