elasticsearch: indexing & searching arabic text - elasticsearch

Question

When I put the following things into elasticsearch-1.0.1 I expect the search queries to return the posts with id 200 and 201. But I get nothing returned. Hits:0.
What am I doing wrong? I'm searching exactly for what I put in, but get nothing out... (here's the test code for download: http://petoria.de/tmp/arabictest.sh).
But please keep in mind: I want to use the Arabic analyzer, because I want to develop my own analyzer later.
Best,

Just add the encoding to your URL, you can do it by specifying the "Content-Type" header as bellow:
Content-Type:text/html;charset=UTF-8
