Might be that i've missed something but haven't been able to solve this on my own.  
Why is it trowing this error on \_mlt querries?

curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/products/ads/4f6d50d2eabc88fb0f000000/\_mlt?min\_term\_freq=1&min\_doc\_freq=1](http://localhost:9200/products/ads/4f6d50d2eabc88fb0f000000/_mlt?min_term_freq=1&min_doc_freq=1)'  
{"error":"IndexMissingException[[products] missing]","status":404}

curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/products/ads/4f6d50d2eabc88fb0f000000](http://localhost:9200/products/ads/4f6d50d2eabc88fb0f000000)'  
{"\_index":"products","\_type":"ads","\_id":"4f6d50d2eabc88fb0f000000","\_version":2,"exists":true, "\_source" : and so on........

So the index and that id exists...

The DSL one works but as far as i can see it doesn't support the id in the request so i have to remove/exclude the document i'm searching more like this on in my code.  
{  
"more\_like\_this" : {  
.....................  
}  
}
