ElasticSearch, inconsistency between size and count/search?

I created and indexed some docs in ES via curl POST.

When I GET 'myhost/_cat/indices?v', I can see my index and count ~95000 and store.size ~20mb.

But when I GET 'myhost/myindex/_count' it returns 0. Or I GET 'myhost/myindex/_search?q=:' then it does not hit anything.

I use SearchGuard but there are not any error or permission warns etc.

What can be problem?

Thanks.

can you share your command? – Assael Azran Nov 17 '19 at 12:26
For loading == >> curl --cacert xxx.pem -H "Authorization: Basic xxxxxxx" -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --request POST 'https://myhost/myindex/_doc?pretty ' -d '{"name" : "JACK"}' – mehmet sahin Nov 17 '19 at 12:31
For query ==>> curl --cacert xxx.pem -H "Authorization: Basic xxxxxxx" -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --request GET 'https://myhost/myindex/_search?q=*:* ' – mehmet sahin Nov 17 '19 at 12:33
I can see ~95000 in column docs.count in /_cat/indices?v – mehmet sahin Nov 17 '19 at 12:34
Are you using nested documents? Usually, the difference between `_cat/indices` and `_count` is due to nested documents being counted in `_cat/indices`, but that wouldn't explain why you get no documents at all. How do your documents look like? – Stefano Branco Nov 18 '19 at 15:05
