I'm inserting docs to an index. There's a `created_at` field that I use in the dataview for time filtering. After initial doc inserts I can see all the docs in Kibana in my data view. I'm then needing to update docs so using the update API (from dev tools or elasticsearch-py) once I update a doc I no longer can find it in search for my dataview with time filtering. Here's what I'm trying

- my\_dataview - I've set this data view up with a timefilter using `created_at` field
- my\_dataview\_no\_filter - I've set this data view up with no timefilter

In Discover, I'm able to see see all the indexed records for both data views

Dev Tools

```auto
post my-index/_update/123
{
  "doc": {"name": "newfield"}
}

```

That is taken from the \_updateAPI docs page

If I then try to search for that document in Discover after doing an update I can find the doc using my\_dataview\_no\_filter but the doc is no where to be found when using my\_dataview

If I do a `get my-index/123` I get the updated doc back. The `created_at` field hasn't been changed.

What am I missing? Why can't I find the doc in my time filtered dataview? I'm so confused, please help

Hi @petersedivec,

It could be that the currently selected time range on Discover page (in the top nav) is excluding this document. Extending it might help.

@jughosta - thanks for the thought, the doc is from May 11th and I've set it to past 30, 90 days and 1yr. I should have mentioned that already. I wish that's what it was

Is it the same issue when searched for documents via Dev Tools?

Haven't tried using the search api in we tools but will give that a try.
