Hi  
Following query is always returning found: true  
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/indexname/type?parent=x' where x is any random  
integer

I'm using the following mapping

curl -XPOST localhost:9200/indexname -d '  
{  
"mappings":{  
"department":{  
"properties" : {  
"department" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true }  
}  
},  
"category":{  
"\_parent" : {  
"type" : "department"  
},  
"properties" : {  
"category" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true },  
"category\_url" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true }  
}  
}  
},  
"settings": {  
"number\_of\_shards" : 1,  
"number\_of\_replicas" : 0  
}  
}  
'

Am I missing something?
