I didn't do anything, I don't know how to do it,  
See, like in lucene first we create a QueryParser object and then with this  
object using the parse() method we create a query. Is there anything like  
this in elasticsearch?

I'm afraid not to understand.

Are you looking for something else that the example in ES site frontpage ?  
$ curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/2](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/2) -d '{  
"user": "kimchy",  
"post\_date": "2009-11-15T14:12:12",  
"message": "You know, for Search"  
}'

$ curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/\_search?q=user:kimchy](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_search?q=user:kimchy)

$ curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/\_search](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_search) -d '{  
"query" : {  
"term" : { "user": "kimchy" }  
}  
}'

$ curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/twitter/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/twitter/_search?pretty=true) -d '{  
"query" : {  
"range" : {  
"post\_date" : {  
"from" : "2009-11-15T13:00:00",  
"to" : "2009-11-15T14:30:00"  
}  
}  
}  
}'

is it what you are after ?

Sorry if I misunderstood.
