Catalog search index not created even after getting success on reindex

Getting weird behaviour from Magento on reindexing calogsearch_fulltext.

When running:

bin/magento indexer:reindex catalogsearch_fulltext

Console outputs:

Catalog Search index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:00

which is already quite alarming as we have around 700k products. Nothing related to indexing appears in magento logs.

If I curl elasticsearch:9200/_cat/indices I can see that some indexes are being generated but calogsearch_fulltext is not among them. Also elasticsearch logs doesn’t even indicate that indexation for catalog search is started.
