Search in Riak Finds Nothing

Question

I'm a newbie to Riak and I'm trying to get Riak Search up and running but so far I'm failing miserably. I've listed the steps I tried below, please advise as to what I'm missing.

1) Create Index:

curl -X PUT http://192.168.189.153:10018/search/index/ix1 \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -d '{"schema":"_yz_default"}'

2) Create and activate index

riak-admin bucket-type create citytype '{"props":{"search_index":"ix1"}}'
riak-admin bucket-type activate citytype

4) Create using Ruby

require 'riak' 
client = Riak::Client.new(:nodes => [
               {:host => "192.168.189.153", :pb_port => 10017},
               {:host => "192.168.189.153", :pb_port => 10027},
               {:host => "192.168.189.153", :pb_port => 10037}
             ])
city = {
   :name => 'Roskilde',
   :countrycode => 'DK',
   :location => '1.2',
   :population => 80000
}   
city_bucket = client.bucket_type('citytype').bucket('byer')
new_city = city_bucket.get_or_new(city[:name])
new_city.data = city
new_city.store(w: 3, dw: 2)

5) Retrieve Using Ruby

require 'riak'

client = Riak::Client.new(:nodes => [
               {:host => "192.168.189.153", :pb_port => 10017}
             ])

city_bucket = client.bucket_type('citytype').bucket('byer')
fetched = city_bucket.get('Roskilde')
p fetched

results = client.search("ix1", "name:Roskilde")

p results
p results['docs']

6) Output

ruby search1.rb
#<Riak::RObject {byer,Roskilde} [#<Riak::RContent [application/json]:{"name"=>"Roskilde", "countrycode"=>"DK", "location"=>"1.2", "population"=>80000}>]>
{"max_score"=>0.0, "num_found"=>0, "docs"=>[]}
[]

7) Via HTTP

http://192.168.189.153:10018/types/citytype/buckets/byer/keys/Roskilde

{"name":"Roskilde","countrycode":"DK","location":"1.2","population":80000}

http://192.168.189.153:10018/search/query/ix1?wt=json&q=name:Roskilde

{"responseHeader":{"status":0,"QTime":10,"params":{"192.168.189.153:10034":"_yz_pn:51 OR _yz_pn:39 OR _yz_pn:36 OR _yz_pn:27 OR _yz_pn:24 OR _yz_pn:12","shards":"192.168.189.153:10014/internal_solr/ix1,192.168.189.153:10024/internal_solr/ix1,192.168.189.153:10034/internal_solr/ix1","q":"name:Roskilde","wt":"json","192.168.189.153:10014":"_yz_pn:64 OR (_yz_pn:61 AND (_yz_fpn:61)) OR _yz_pn:60 OR _yz_pn:57 OR _yz_pn:48 OR _yz_pn:45 OR _yz_pn:33 OR _yz_pn:21 OR _yz_pn:9","192.168.189.153:10024":"_yz_pn:54 OR _yz_pn:42 OR _yz_pn:30 OR _yz_pn:18 OR _yz_pn:15 OR _yz_pn:6 OR _yz_pn:3"}},"response":{"numFound":0,"start":0,"maxScore":0.0,"docs":[]}}

8) Error Logs The solr.log file has only explainable errors (cases where I, out of desperation did some weird wildcard searching)

The error.log file show a number of errors like this, but none from a set of recent new tests:

23:15:41.308 [error] Error in process <0.4385.0> on node 'dev1@192.168.189.153' with exit value: {{badmatch,['dev3@192.168.189.153']},[{yz_index,wait_for_index,3,[{file,"src/yz_index.erl"},{line,415}]}]}

The default schema[0] expects you to append the data type of each field to its name, like name_s for string, or population_i for integer. Otherwise the field matches the default, which explicitly skips indexing:

<dynamicField name="*" type="ignored" />
