from pyes import \*

conn = ES('127.0.0.1:9200')

def main():  
conn.index({'text':'This is great!'},'text-index','doc',1)  
conn.indices.refresh("text-index")  
q1= TextQuery('text','This')  
results = conn.search(q1,index='text-index',typename='doc')  
for r in results:  
print r;

if **name** == ' **main**':  
main()

I'm flummoxed by this.

Any idea?

thanks.

"this" is a stop word. Trying searching for the word "great" or changing  
your analyzer to one that does not have the stop filter.

Cheers,
