Hi, This post is related to the below one. [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/elasticsearch/jJnOcAVP\_L4/discussion](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/elasticsearch/jJnOcAVP_L4/discussion) The query has a from:"0" and size:"1", but this query gets 1 record from each of the 8 shards on the index and the java API displays 8 records. I'm not sure if this is some configuration issue. Thanks, John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Did you change your search type to query\_and\_fetch? With query\_and\_fetch, you will get n results from each shard, where n is the size requested. Default search type is query\_then\_fetch. > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

It's hard to follow you in what your curl line looks like, so it's hard to comment. In Java API you use DFS query then fetch. So I think you also used in curl the parameter search\_type= dfs\_query\_then\_fetch. Also, you used setExplain(true) in Java which means, curl should have run through the \_explain endpoint. But I am not sure. I suggest you respect both parameters (explain and search\_type) and then, result size should be the same.

Jörg, the code had been changed from the "DFS query then fetch" or "query then fetch" to "query and fetch" by someone. Sorry about the confusion i caused.
