Dear all,

I cannot able to query the field of attachment type. I followed the  
instruction  
in [http://es-cn.medcl.net/tutorials/2011/07/18/attachment-type-in-action.html](http://es-cn.medcl.net/tutorials/2011/07/18/attachment-type-in-action.html).

And the result of the search query:

curl "[http://localhost:9200/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/_search?pretty=true)" -d '{  
"fields" : ["title"],  
"query" : {  
"query\_string" : {  
"query" : "amplifier"  
}  
},  
"highlight" : {  
"fields" : {  
"file" : {}  
}  
}  
}'

result:

{  
"took" : 1,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 1,  
"successful" : 1,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 0,  
"max\_score" : null,  
"hits" : []  
}  
}

My ElasticSearch is the latest version, elasticsearch-0.90.9 and the plugin of mapper-attachment is 1.9.0 ([https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments)).

In fact, the environment finished the setup yesterday. I have no clue why it cannot find anything.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Ivan

Hard to say. Not enough details about what you did.  
Could you gist a curl recreation and also add in it the result of a \_search?q=\*&pretty

Did you restart elasticsearch after plugin installation?

Hi, David,

This is the result of \_search?q=\*&pretty:

{  
"took": 0,  
"timed\_out": false,  
"\_shards": {  
"total": 1,  
"successful": 1,  
"failed": 0  
},  
"hits": {  
"total": 1,  
"max\_score": 1,  
"hits": [  
{  
"\_index": "test",  
"\_type": "attachment",  
"\_id": "9wsReuxrSzCC0qrRHsYYPg",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"file":  
"PGh0bWw+VGhpcyBwYWdlIG1vdmVkIHRvIDxhIGhyZWY9Ig0KL2NvbnRlbnQvZGFtL0ludGVyc2lsL2RvY3VtZW50cy9mbjY3L2ZuNjc0Mi5wZGYNCg==Ij5oZXJlPC9hPjwvaHRtbD4NCg=="  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}

BTW, I did restart the ES after the plugin installed.

Ideas?

Thanks, a lot.

I used [http://www.base64decode.org/](http://www.base64decode.org/) to look at your indexed document.

Result is: "This page moved to \<a href="  
/content/dam/Intersil/documents/fn67/fn6742.pdf  
#W&S FР"

I guess you now have the explanation! 🙂
