I have two type of users in my es database, one is registered through the  
email and other is from facebook. so based on this I have two type of users

RegisteredUser  
FacebookUser

and both the types are having all most the same type of attributes. but  
when i apply even a simple query in facebookuser like a term query say :

{"query":  
{"term":  
{"home\_city\_id" :198763  
}  
}  
}

its not giving the results although same queries are working fine with  
other type (RegisteredUser).

Currently I am using 0.19.4 version of elasticsearch. Can anyone please  
help me what can be the problem & why this particular type is not  
searchable.

From the limited info you have provided, we have no way of knowing what  
the problem is.

Please see [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/help) and follow the instructions  
for gisting a complete (but short) recreation
