Hi ! I have currently a cluster with one shard on multiple nodes, using the option 'auto\_expand\_replicas' =\> '0-all', so that every node has all the data. Some nodes are in Europe and some are in America. When I'm requesting a server in Europe, I notice in the logs that sometimes, the request is send to a server in America, which makes the request longer. Is there a way to keep replications between severs and to force elasticsearch to search only locally ?

Have a look at [Request body search | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-preference.html) [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-preference.html](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-preference.html) Might help. That said we don’t recommend splitting your cluster on 2 data centers. -- David Pilato - Developer | Evangelist > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co/)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
