7 min Veery testing todo (add to couchdb the ability to generate a list of tag names and their counts, if possible. two display options would be nice: by tag name and count. like with Grebe and Junco. need the couchdb equivalent to count(*) and group_by in SQL.) Read a Single Post ================== Grab my profile page, which has the _id of "profile". Currently, the default is to return HTML only. curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/posts/profile This produces the same thing. curl http://veeryapiperl.soupmode.com/api/posts/profile/?text=html { "status":200, "description":"OK", "post": { "post_type":"article", "title":"Profile", "slug":"profile", "author":"MrX", "created_at":"2015/02/11 14:54:49", "updated_at":"2015/04/21 15:56:10", "word_count":16, "reading_time":0, "html":"<a name=\"Profile\"></a>\n<h1 class=\"headingtext\"><a href=\"/profile\">Profile</a></h1>\n\n<p>my profile page that contains nothing because i want to blend into the background.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3156/2614312687_3fe4cae2a9_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n" } } Get the markup.

When a plus sign separates words, then it seems that an 'OR' Boolean search is conducted. I have not yet exploited the full power of Elasticsearch, such as creating patterns.
