[SOLVED]  
Hi,

I'm trying to insert datas using the bulk function with PHP. But, each time, I can't find the first document.

When I print the response of the bulk I got:

> ```
> [index] => Array
> (
> [_index] => my_index
> [_type] => my_type
> [_id] => 1
> [_version] => 7
> [_shards] => Array
> (
> [total] => 2
> [successful] => 2
> [failed] => 0
> )
> 
> ```

> ```
> [status] => 200
> )
> 
> ```

And when i tried to search it:  
`GET /my_index/my_type/1`  
I get:

```
{
   "_index": "my_index",
   "_type": "my_type",
   "_id": "1",
   "found": false
}

```

What I don't understand also is that when the others document are indexed, **the status is 201** and not **200** like the first one. And i can find the others. Also the \_version is different for the first one than the others.

Complementary information:  
I use Elasticsearch 2.3.  
The bulk size is 1000.  
It's just the first one of all that i can't find, not the first of each bulk.  
I don't get errors in the log.

----UPDATE----  
I deleted the index and then reindexed my data. The status and version is the same as the other but i still can't find it after...

---UPDATE2----  
SOVLED There was a weird invisible special char at the start of my csv file, os the first one wasn't of the same type as the other...
