Hi All:  
I have been trying to write a unitTest that tests some indexing and  
search functionality against an embedded instance of Elasticsearch so  
that I do not have to rely on a test instance of Elasticsearch being  
available. Towards this goal, I create a local node instance like so :

```
    ImmutableSettings.Builder elasticsearchSettings =

```

> ```
> ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder()
> 
> .put("http.enabled",false)
> 
> .put("path.data",dataDirectory);
> 
> ```
> 
> > ```
> > node = 
> > 
> > ```
> > 
> > nodeBuilder().local(true).settings(elasticsearchSettings.build()).node();

and I get get a client instance like so :

Client client = node.client();

So far so good. I proceed to index a single document like so :

```
    client.prepareIndex("testindex", "testDocument", 

```

> > testDocument.getDocumentId())
> 
> > .setSource(jsonStringnormalized).execute().actionGet();
> 
> where jsonStringnormalized is the JSON representation of the testDocument  
> and testDocument.getDocumnetId() returns the ID for the document.

I then perform two requests, 1 a Get request (using GetReponse) and the  
second a SearchResponse.  
The GetReponse returns the document I just indexed. However my search  
request (where is a query :QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery() ) returns no  
documents.

My Question is this, What is the difference between the GetReponse request  
and a SearchResposne request.  
Is there a way for the SearchResponse to succeed in this environment

Thanks much

Ramdev

The get response is like so :

```
    GetResponse gr = client.prepareGet("testindex", "testDocument", 

```

> testDocument.getDocumentId()).execute().actionGet();

The searchResponse is like so :

```
    SearchResponse sr = 

```

> 
> > .setSearchType(SearchType.QUERY\_AND\_FETCH).setQuery(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery())
> 
> ```
> .setExplain(true).execute().actionGet();
>

is there a commit like function call after index that is preventing the  
index from being created ? (like a flush ?)

Thanks

The update of the search indexes happens asynchronously (normally after  
about 1s), but in testing you can force a refresh on the index before  
issuing the search request.  
i.e.:  
client().admin().indices().prepareRefresh("testindex").execute().get()

or you can use setRefresh(true) on the indexing request.
