Hi All,

I am trying with following percolate query

$ curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_percolator/pa\_percolate\_index/BU\_001' -d '{  
"query":{  
"field":{"TweetData":"google"}}}'

$ curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_percolator/pa\_percolate\_index/BU\_002' -d '{  
"query":{  
"field":{"TweetData":"microsoft"}}}'

Now I am testing it as follows

$ curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/pa\_percolate\_index/type/\_percolate' -d '{  
"doc":{"TweetData":"google"}}'

Result is awesome:- {"ok":true,"matches":["BU\_001"]}

But When i try other doc as follows:

$ curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/pa\_percolate\_index/type/\_percolate' -d '{  
"doc":{"TweetData":"microsoft"}}'

Result comes: {"ok":true,"matches":["BU\_002","BU\_001"]}

It should be : {"ok":true,"matches":["BU\_002"]}

Please help me and let me know where I am making mistakes.

Regards,  
Pulkit Agrawal

When I try your example on 0.16.2, it works correctly for me. Perhaps  
you have an earlier version of BU\_001 that is matching? Or you're  
running an older version of Elasticsearch?

I am not having earlier version of BU\_001 because I try after deleting  
complete index couple of time.

I am using Elastic search 0.16.1

Any Idea?
