Why does issuing the Elasticsearch query below produce an error?

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/query-dsl-terms-filter.html

Query

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/bizruntime/biz/_search' -d'
{
  "term": {
    "user": "prakash"
  }
}'

Error message

        "reason": "failed to parse search source. unknown search element [term]",

      }
    ],

You need to send your query like this and it will work:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/bizruntime/biz/_search' -d '{
  "query": {
     "term" : { "user" : "prakash" } 
  }
}'
