Hi Erick, Thanks for your comments but I am migrating an existing index (single instance) to a sharded setup and currently I have no access to the code involved in the indexation process. That`s why I made a simple copy of the index on each shards.
In the end, the data will be distributed among all shards. I was just curious to know why I had not the expected number of documents with my four shards. Can you elaborate on this "polling interval" thing? I am pretty sure I never eared about this...

Shards are splitting a logical index amongst N machines, where each machine contains a portion of the index. In that setup, you have to configure the slaves to know about the other shards, and the incoming query has to be distributed amongst all the shards to find all the docs. In your case, since you're really replicating (rather than sharding), you only have to query _one_ slave, the query doesn't need to be distributed. So pull all the sharding stuff out of your config files, put a load balancer in front of your slaves and only send the request to one of them would be the place I'd start. Also, don't be at all surprised if the number of hits from the _master_ (which you shouldn't be searching, BTW) is different than the slaves, there's the polling interval to consider.
