Laravel Scout with Elastic search not working - elasticsearch

Question

I tried
Using Elastic search with Laravel scout with packages
"laravel/scout": "^1.0",
"tamayo/laravel-scout-elastic": "^1.0"
Ran Elasticsearch server in localhost:9200 and created index and gave necessary config's,
added searchable trait's to the model,
and imported data to index like
php artisan scout:import "App\story"
Imported [App\story] models up to ID: 4
All [App\story] records have been imported.
But when I do a search it returns an empty array
story::search("the")->get()
=> Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection {#754
all: [],
}
when I do curl also it shows like,
// http://localhost:9200/author/_search?pretty=true&q=*:*
{
"took": 1,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 0,
"max_score": null,
"hits": [
]
}
}
When I adding the record without index in ES the model throws an error like index not found. But after adding data and all, it seems empty. Did I miss anything?
The whole same works fine with algolia.

Set QUEUE=sync or you could turn off queue on config/scout.php.
Had the same issue: https://github.com/ErickTamayo/laravel-scout-elastic/issues/43

Answer 2

I had the same issue.
Delete your index in Elasticsearch and run:
php artisan scout:import App\\story
Let scout create it.

Answer 3

In case you are using elastic search, check the error log - I had:
sudo su
tail -f /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log
high disk watermark [90%] exceeded on [minbqqKpRV-umA0DPxkuww][mihai-MS-7A72][/var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0] free: 28.9gb[6.3%], shards will be relocated away from this node; currently relocating away shards totalling [0] bytes; the node is expected to continue to exceed the high disk watermark when these relocations are complete
IF that`s the case,disable the disk check,at least for testing
curl -XPUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings \
-d '{"index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete": false}'
Or make those changes permanent in elasticsearch.yml and restart the service.
