meteor:easy-search first query returns empty

Using meteor easy-search I have an Index on my user collection : 

UserIndex = new EasySearch.Index({
    collection: Meteor.users,
    fields: ['username', 'realname', 'bio', 'email'],
    engine: new EasySearch.MongoDB(),
});

And a query in my client : 

var userResults = UserIndex.search(input).fetch();

The first time I fetch for an input, the index returns empty, the second time it works normally. It works that way when I change inputs: first time empty, second time works ok. I have no clue why it behaves that way... Any idea?

You have to give time for your search results to be published to the client. Try wrapping your search in a Tracker.autorun, like:

Tracker.autorun(() => {
  let userResults = UserIndex.search(input).fetch();
  console.log(userResults);
});

Watch the logged results after making one search; they'll start empty but then as the results are published to the client, you'll see the proper results logged.
