I've posted this here [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/33225](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/33225) already, but with no luck..

I'm using this scroll API query to search multiple indices:

-XPOST activity\_stats\*/type1,type2,type3/\_search?scroll=1h -d '--some query data--'

it gives me required amount of records, but following request

\_search/scroll?scroll=1h&scroll\_id=$scrollId

returns 404 error:  
array(6) {  
["type"]=\>  
string(25) "index\_not\_found\_exception"  
["reason"]=\>  
string(13) "no such index"  
["resource.type"]=\>  
string(14) "index\_or\_alias"  
["resource.id"]=\>  
string(11) "bad-request"  
["index\_uuid"]=\>  
string(4) " _na_ "  
["index"]=\>  
string(11) "bad-request"  
}

Elasticsearch version 5.1.2

Some notices:

1. Curl syntax is used for clarity, actually it's php script
2. $scrollId is valid
3. I have indices named like activity\_stats\_week\_1, activity\_stats\_week\_2 etc
