First of all i must say that ES looks pretty good.

After that, i should say that I'm new in search engines so do blame my due  
to my silly questions.

I have configured my Domain Class called (News) using searchable = true.  
Data seems to be indexed and when I do a search it retreives 50 results,  
but the 'searchResults' variable is totally empty. How can this be  
possible, maybe because of the low score of the search?If that is the case,  
how can I improve the score and the search.

I have tried to find the solution to this "issue" but I had no luck.

Thanks in advance!

Just in order to complete my question....

The code inside the Search Controller

def elasticSearchService

```
def search(){
    def res = elasticSearchService.search("${params.query}")

    println res.searchResults

    println "Found ${res.total} result(s)"
    res.searchResults.each {
        if(it instanceof News) {
            println "------------"
            println "Title:"+it.title
            println "Body"+it.body
            println "------------"
        } else {
            println it.toString()
        }
    }
}

```

The code for indexing News

static searchable = {  
only = ['title','body']  
}

And the output given by the controller is:

Found 50 result(s)

Thanks!

Hi,

could you please try to set the params.indices and params.types for the  
search method?

```
    def params =[:]
    String indices = "newsxpath" //your package name to the class to 

```

search.  
params.indices = indices

```
    String types = "newsxpath.News" // your class name
    params.types = types

   def res = elasticSearchService.search("${params.query}",params) 

```

This works for me.

I don't know why my answer was deleted,  
but the following worked for me. I had the same problem.

```
     def params =[:]
    String indices = "newsindex" // path to your package 
    params.indices = indices

    String types = "addresses.News" // full class name 
    params.types = types

    def res = elasticSearchService.search("*",params)

```

Greetings

Ok, this is my third try to post. The other posts were deleted. Don't know  
why.

I had the same problem while using the grails-elasticsearch-plugin.

Try adding indices and types. This worked for me. So searchResults weren't  
empty anymore.

```
    def params =[:]
    String indices = "newsindex"
    params.indices = indices

    String types = "newsindex.News"
    params.types = types

    def res = elasticSearchService.search("*",params)

```
