vineeth@vineeth-XPS-L501X:~/Documents$ cat sample.json  
{ "index" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1" } }  
{"XYZ" : "ABC" },

vineeth@vineeth-XPS-L501X:~/Documents$ curl -XPOST '  
[http://localhost:9200/test/\_search](http://localhost:9200/test/_search)' @sample.json  
{"took":1,"timed\_out":false,"\_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":1,"max\_score":1.0,"hits":[{"\_index":"test","\_type":"type1","\_id":"IUjJevlhQcGy6qz92ViW6g","\_version":1,"\_score":1.0,  
"\_source" : {"XYZ" : "ABC" },}]}}

The obtained JSON is not well formed as there is a extra comma.  
The same extra comma is there at sample.json too  
but then ES did not negative validated it.

Thanks  
Vineeth

You post the bulk request to the search API?
