I am using elasticsearch 1.5.2 because that's all AWS will give me right now. I have the following query with rescoring of large html documents (100000 total for this test):

{  
"\_source" : [],  
"query" : {  
"filtered" : {  
"filter" : {  
"term" : {  
"user\_ids" : 0  
}  
},  
"query" : {  
"match" : {  
"body" : {  
"query" : "autism explained",  
"minimum\_should\_match" : 2  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"rescore" : {  
"window\_size" : 100,  
"query" : {  
"rescore\_query" : {  
"match" : {  
"synopsis" : {  
"query" : "autism explained",  
"operator" : "or"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

My url is:  
[http://xxx.us-west-2.es.amazonaws.com:80/article\_index\_en/article/\_search?size=20&from=20](http://xxx.us-west-2.es.amazonaws.com:80/article_index_en/article/_search?size=20&from=20)

As you can size the idea is that we specify a window\_size of 100, allowing 5 pages of 20 hits each. The query for the first page with size=0 and from=0 works. But the second page with size=20 and from=20 fails as follows:

{timed\_out=false, hits={hits=[], max\_score=0.8249064, total=306}, took=4, \_shards={failed=0, total=1, successful=1}}

Why would I get a search criteria total of 306 but an empty hits array? Is this a bug in my query json, or a bug in 1.5.2?

Are you sure you are not specifying size=0 somewhere by mistake? That is the only reason I can think of that would cause getting back no hits although there are matches. If that's not the case, can you post your search response and a complete recreation of the problem please?

Thanks
