Hi ,

```
I have three question. Please help me...
1. In Elastic search "highlight" not working for fuzzy search
```

anything specific for fuzzy search...?
```
2. I am using the command "_close and _open for attach and
```
detach an index" in elastic search. While closing the index using its

Please provide a curl example showing what you are doing - that way we
can help you.

Depends on what gateway you are using. Provide more information about
your setup?
thanks

Thanks for your quick response clinton.
Please provide a curl example showing what you are doing ?
I am using below commands in curl for open and close an index.
```
curl -XPOST 'http://localserver:9200/db1/_close'
curl -XPOST 'http://localserver:9200/db1/_open'
another question here is what is the internal process going here
```
while open/close index?
Depends on what gateway you are using. Provide more information about
your setup?
gateway:
type: fs
fs:
location: D:\elasticsearch-13 BackUp
cluster:
name: Cluster1
this is the gateway configuration i am using..... and Elasticsearch
version is 0.13.1
Please help us to move forward....

You don't say if there is anything in the log, but you may be running
into this bug, which has been fixed in master:
[http://groups.google.com/a/elasticsearch.com/group/users/browse\_thread/thread/6d6a823345f9f1f4#](http://groups.google.com/a/elasticsearch.com/group/users/browse_thread/thread/6d6a823345f9f1f4#)

ES keeps the metadata for the closed indices in memory, but doesn't open
the lucene indices, until you call \_open.

In that case you can just tar/zip up the contents of
D:\elasticsearch-13 BackUp
In order to restore it, you would need to shutdown your cluster, unpack
the tar/zip file, move the contents of your backup to your
gateway.fs.location and start the cluster up again.

Another three question here i need to clarify with you clinton. Please
help me....
1.Is it possible to backup and restore a single index? Is there any
option to backup and restore per index?
1. In Elastic search "highlight" not working for fuzzy search but
for other search type highlight working fine. Do i need to do
anything specific for fuzzy search...?
2. In Elasticsearch index i have a field named path and its values
are listed below....?
How can i find the exact path using search in Elasticsearch....

I don't know. Provide a curl recreation (showing how you create the
index, index the data, and search for the data)

read the recent posts about Strategy For Limiting Search To "Folder
Path" on the list - it discusses this issue.
