Hi,

i try to build a faceted search for a website with elasticsearch, but

Hi John,

What is exactly your problem ?

Did you succeeded in installing elasticsearch on your local machine ?  
Did you index some documents ?  
How do they look like ?  
What do you mean by "install a faceted search" ?

Cheers  
David.

Hi David,

i installed Java + Elastisearch and i can start it using the  
powershell. There is no error. I installed (well copied..) curl and  
whatever i try, i always get some parsing errors.  
Even a simple curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/1](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/1)' -d  
'{ "user" : "kimchy" }' will not work, and i tried lots of  
different syntaxes. I always get some strange parser errors like  
"MapperParsingExeption[Failed to parse]; nested  
JsonParseExeption[Unexpected character {'k' \<code 107}}.. expected a  
valid value etc..  
I get the same errors in the console where i run elasticsearch.

If i enter [http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/1](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/1)' -d '{ "user" :  
"kimchy" } into the firefox adress bar, it returns  
{"\_index":"twitter","\_type":"tweet","\_id":"1' -d '{ "user" :  
"kimchy" }","exists":false}

By the way: should this work ? Can i just enter commands in the adress  
bar ?

This one drives me insane.  
Final goal would be a faceted AJAX search, but there is a long way to  
go..

Have a look at this thread about curl with windows :

[https://groups.google.com/group/elasticsearch/browse\_thread/thread/d0ef71ce4ee4bbc/50c763e37414d2b4?hl=fr&lnk=gst&q=Curl+dadoonet#50c763e37414d2b4](https://groups.google.com/group/elasticsearch/browse_thread/thread/d0ef71ce4ee4bbc/50c763e37414d2b4?hl=fr&lnk=gst&q=Curl+dadoonet#50c763e37414d2b4)

You should use curl but not the firefox address bar  
Instead, you can download mobz interface for ES to play with ES from firefox.

HTH
