#### index data
 index\_a {id: 1, name: name1, start\_time: '2013-09-20', end\_time: '2013-09-30'} {id: 2, name: name2, start\_time: '2013-09-20', end\_time: '2013-09-30'} {id: 3, name: name3, start\_time: '2013-09-20', end\_time: '2013-09-30'} index\_b {id: 1, name: name1} {id: 2, name: name2} {id: 3, name: name3}
#### search

curl -X GET '[http://localhost:9200/index\_a,index\_b/\_search?from=0&size=40&pretty](http://localhost:9200/index_a,index_b/_search?from=0&size=40&pretty)' -d '{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"range": {  
"index\_a\_type.start\_time": {  
"lte": "2013-09-23T00:00:00+08:00"  
}  
}  
},  
{  
"range": {  
"index\_a\_type.end\_time": {  
"gt": "2013-09-23T00:00:00+08:00"  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},

"size": "40",  
"from": "0"  
}'

search results  
{id: 1, name: name1, start\_time: '2013-09-20', end\_time: '2013-09-30'}  
{id: 2, name: name2, start\_time: '2013-09-20', end\_time: '2013-09-30'}  
{id: 3, name: name3, start\_time: '2013-09-20', end\_time: '2013-09-30'}  
why no index index\_b results?

thank!
