Hi I'm Bhavani.

When I try to search for data within a message using quotation marks, I encounter an error like  
( No results found

- **1 of 2868 shards failed**

The data might be incomplete or wrong.).  
How can I resolve this issue, and what's the correct way to search for a specific sentence within a message

Hi,

to get more information about the unassigned shards. Run the following command:

```auto
GET _cluster/allocation/explain?filter_path=index,shard,primary, **.node_name,**.node_decision, **.decider,**.decision, **.*explanation,**.unassigned_info,**.*delay

```

Regards
