Hi,

I have the following document  
`{ "_index" : "product", "_type" : "external", "_id" : "1", "_version" : 1, "found" : true, "_source" : { "event" : { "capacity" : "23", "name" : "se3" } } }`

when i run the following query `http://127.0.0.1:9200/product/_search?pretty`  
with the body `{ "query": { "match": { "name": "se3" } } }`

i get nothing back -- what am i missing?

thanks in advance
