In this example, the patent record 179-225-554-278-418 has 4 simple family members and 28 extended family members, however searching by the family.simple.member.lens_id returns the list of 28 extended family members.
This appears to be an issue with the simple family members in the search index only, family member data in records returned in the response are correct.
