Hi All,

Please, could you provide a simple search example integrating JAVA and REST APIs.  
I´ve tried the below example but it failures.

String queryString = "{" +  
""query" : { " +  
" "term" : { " +  
" "message" : "test" " +  
"}}}";

SearchRequestBuilder srb = client.prepareSearch(indexName).  
setSearchType(SearchType.QUERY\_AND\_FETCH).  
setQuery(queryString);

Thanks,

Alex
