Am I right, if I issue:

```
http://localhost:9200/_search?q=*:*

```

in the browser bar, I should get the hits from all indexes, right? I only  
get 2 out of the three indexes' results. There are only about 7 items in  
each index, so nothing is timing out.

```
http://localhost:9200/_status

```

shows all the indexes and that they are fine.

7 \* 2 == 14

it only returns 10 results by default

try [http://localhost:9200/\_search?q=\*:\*&size=100](http://localhost:9200/_search?q=*:*&size=100)
