Hi, I have two indices let's say "index1" and "index2" and types "type1", "type2" accordingly. "index1" has alias "index1\_alias" when I run deletebyquery on these indices like below I got the following results: [http://host](http://host):port/_index1\_alias_/\_query?q=_:_ OK [http://host](http://host):port/_index1\_alias_/_type1_/\_query?q=_:_ OK [http://host](http://host):port/_index1\_alias,index2_/\_query?q=_:_ OK [http://host](http://host):port/_index1\_alias,index2/type1,type2_/\_query?q=_:_ Does not delete entries with type "type1" Regards, Sezgin Kucukkaraaslan [www.ifountain.com](http://www.ifountain.com) ---
