Hi everyone!  
I have this problem when I want to retrieve indexed tweets which contains the word ‘Me’:

C:\Windows\system32\>curl -XGET "[http://localhost:9200/tweetindex/a\_tweets/\_searc](http://localhost:9200/tweetindex/a_tweets/_searc)  
h?q=Me&pretty=true"

{  
"error" : "IndexMissingException[[tweetindex] missing]",  
"status" : 404  
}

This is how I tried to index it:

curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/\_river/mongodb/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/mongodb/_meta)" -d "  
{"type":"mongodb", "mongodb":{"db":"aikin", "collection":"a\_tweets  
"}, "index":{"name":"tweetindex", "type":"a\_tweets"} }"

{"ok":true,"\_index":"\_river","\_type":"mongodb","\_id":"\_meta","\_version":8}

Does anyone had same problem?  
Any ideas?
