Greetings! I just started evaluating ElasticSearch 0.16.2 as a possible Solr replacement, so I'm a newbie. I tried the percolator example and it worked, but then I tried a slightly modified example and got no matches. My slightly modified example was the following: curl -XPUT localhost:9200/test {"ok":true,"acknowledged":true} curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_percolator/test/surname -d '{"query":{"term":{"surname":"Smith"}}}' {"ok":true,"\_index":"\_percolator","\_type":"test","\_id":"surname","\_version":1} curl -XGET localhost:9200/test/person/\_percolate -d '{"doc":{"surname":"Smith"}}' {"ok":true,"matches":[]} java -version java version "1.6.0\_24" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0\_24-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode) uname -a Linux ubuntu-tcs4 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:45:36 UTC 2010 x86\_64 GNU/Linux I must be doing something wrong or misunderstand how it works. Please advise. Thanks!
