Hello @dadoonet,

Thanks for reply!!!  
Now i am able to search using two indexes. but in dev tools, when i performed any query using two indexes , i can scroll for only 10 results on right hand side even if i can see total count as more than 10. so is that a limitation with dev tool? and what needs to be done in order to see all the results?

Regards,

You can run:

```auto
GET /index1,index2/_search?size=1000

```

Where you'll get the first 1000 hits. At most, you can get by default 10000 hits. If you need more, you should use the Scroll API instead.
