Hello,

So I am looking to use elastic search for full text and search. I want to  
have a html page where users can search for something and get the actual  
document not just the json that comes up. I haven't done my front end yet  
but I'm just not sure how its possible to bring up the whole file if all I  
have is json in elastic search. I implemented the mapper-attachment plugin  
but after putting the mapping it didn't automatically do anything. Do I  
have to input data into the json, shouldn't it get the data by its self?

Thanks,  
Austin
