Try it out on the host machine with

Create an index with one field in the mapping

curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9201/test" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "settings": {
    "number_of_shards": 1
  },
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "body": { "type": "text" }
    }
  }
}'

Index (insert) one document

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9201/test/_doc" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "body": "i am a value"
}'

Search for documents

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9201/test/_search" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "body": "value"
    }
  }
}'
