Hi,

I think the wrong one written on the homepage makes sense.  
But it doesn't seem to work.

\*Wrong: \*

$ curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/twitter/user/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/twitter/user/_mapping) -d '{  
"properties" : {  
"name" : { "type" : "string" }  
}  
}'

$ curl localhost:9200/twitter/user/\_mapping?pretty=tue  
{  
"user" : {  
"properties" : {  
}  
}  
}

_Correct:_

curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/twitter/user/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/twitter/user/_mapping) -d '{  
"user" : {  
"properties" : {  
"name" : { "type" : "string" }  
}  
}  
}'

$ curl localhost:9200/twitter/uer/\_mapping?pretty=true  
{  
"user" : {  
"properties" : {  
"name" : {  
"type" : "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}
