I am having an issue with searching results if the type is not specified. The following search request works correctly: curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/\_search](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_search)' -d '{ "query" : {"match\_all": {}}, "filter": { "terms": { "tweet\_id":[ 128 ] } }, "sort" : {"type" : "desc"} } ' But this search request does not return any results: curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/twitter/\_search](http://localhost:9200/twitter/_search)' -d '{ "query" : {"match\_all": {}}, "filter": { "terms": { "tweet\_id":[ 128 ] } }, "sort" : {"type" : "desc"} } ' Does anyone know why this is? I am using elasticsearch version 0.90.13. Thank you for all the help. Stefanie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I get the correct behavior with the other document type in this index and my other index has had no issues with having multiple document types being returned. So I am not sure what is going on with this document type. Do you have any ideas?

What does your mapping for the index look like? Is there any possibility there could be a mapping conflict?
