We are trying to percolate an existing documents in ES index. But it always  
return 0 matches. But when I run percolator by supplying the document in  
the body returns matches

These are the steps I followed,

_CreatE a new index_

PUT /new-perc-test  
{  
"mappings": {  
"inventory": {  
"properties": {  
"count": {"type": "integer"},  
"type": {"type": "string"}  
}  
}  
}  
}

_Registered a query_

PUT /new-perc-test/.percolator/1  
{  
"query": {  
"match": {  
"type": "mobiles"  
}  
}  
}

_Index a document_

PUT /new-perc-test/inventory/_doc2_  
{  
"count": 12,  
"type": "mobiles"  
}

On successful indexing, _ran percolator_ using

GET /new-perc-test/inventory/_doc2_/\_percolate

Returns 0 matches. I'm not sure what we are missing here? Appreciate any  
help. Thanks in advance
