Elastic Search queries not working with curl - elasticsearch

Question

Running the command:
curl -XGET http://127.0.0.1:9200/30556/_search -d '{
"query": {
"constant_score" : {
"filter" : {
"term" : { "portal_type" : "Folder"}
}
}
}
}'
yields 0 results. The output is:
{"took":1,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":0,"max_score":null,"hits":[]}}
If fact, I can't get any queries to yield results.
However, when I run the same query using the head plugin, it works fine.
I'm on elasticsearch 0.20.2 on Mac OS X. I'm starting elastic search using the command:
bin/elasticsearch -f
Is there something obvious I'm missing? Seems like I have the correct syntax and I don't get any errors.

Answer 1

Try to use lower case index names.
Does it work?
If not, can you provide your indexed document and mapping if any?
UPDATE:
You use default analyzer so your field is broken into tokens which are lowercased.
A TermFilter is not analyzed So it does not match.
You can lowercase you TermFilter or use a MatchQuery which is analyzed or change your mapping and set the field to not_analyzed.
