Shield "index not found exception"

Hi,

when calling search on an empty ES there's a different behavior if shield is enabled or not -
no shield - no exception
with shield - an "index not found" exception is thrown.

off course the empty ES is just an easy example, this issue is relevant for any search where the index is not found...

I dont think that shield should change the original api's behavior, the response should be the same regardless.

i've the same problem, please help us

according to ES support it should be part of a future major release.

Hi, are there any updates on this? Or workarounds?
