Simple query doesn't do anything

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm new to elasticsearch and I'm using the embedded version for the
play framework.
I'm trying out a simple search example which I took from another
thread in this group.

first I create a new index..
$ curl -XPUT 127.0.0.1:9200/test_index/test_type/1?pretty -d
'{ "name": "The
Times" }';
{
"ok" : true,
"_index" : "test_index",
"_type" : "test_type",
"_id" : "1",
"_version" : 1

}

Then I try to search for the text included during index creation:
$ curl -XGET 127.0.0.1:9200/test_index/test_type/_search?pretty -d
'{"query":{"query_string":{"query":"the
times*","default_operator":"AND",
"analyze_wildcard": "true" }}}'

It doesn't return anything.. just hangs.
I'm using the admin interface to make the calls:
http://locahost:9000/es-admin

Hi David,

I just happened to see this post and your reference to "es-admin" (I assume
you are referring to https://github.com/digitalsanctum/es-admin). That's
actually a pet project of mine that really isn't ready for prime time.

Instead of es-admin, I suggest using either curl from the command line or
the excellent elasticsearch-head plugin found here:

HTH,
Shane

A few other issues I've run into.. when I have a MySQL database
indexed and I use the default wildcard search ''
provided with the embedded elasticsearch for play! framework the
search will only match when it is an incomplete word like 'uide' when
the full string is 'The Guide' so full text search doesn't seem to be
working.
I figure this is because the indexed data has not been analysed but
how to know? What is the easiest way to check?
Do you have to configure an analyser or is there a default analyser
used which does not show up in the node meta-data which automagically
does the analysis?

Also how do you get a handle on the default node which is listening on
port 9200? I tried using the Node and Client classes but it just
created a new node each time.

The es-admin interface is included in the embedded version of
elasticsearch by default.
Not sure if it is the same project.. I installed elasticsearch-head
and it looks a lot like the es-admin page I am using with some extras
included.
