Question buds, Anyone run into this error before? "{"error":"IndexMissingException[[\_percolator] missing]","status":404}"? I'm following ([http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/percolate.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/percolate.html)) verbatim, running on 0.19.11. I'm now going down the road of creating an index called "\_percolator", but that doesn't seem at all correct... Thoughts? -Adam -- ---

Did you register any queries before percolating, with an existing index name and type?

I've created a test index, and then do the following, and it gives me the above error. curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_percolator/test/kuku -d '{ "query" : { "term" : { "field1" : "value1" } } }' It would seem that the \_percoloator index needs to be created explicitly, but the documentation doesn't allude to that as far as I've read/understood. I could just be thick in the head...
