Solr: indexing on the example films doesn't return any result - solr

Question

I just started to learn Solr, when I create the index on the "films" example, I got only 5 documents in Solr Admin which is of course wrong. Here are the steps from Steve Rowe that I followed:
bin/solr stop
rm server/logs/*.log
rm -Rf server/solr/films/
bin/solr start
bin/solr create -c films
curl http://localhost:8983/solr/films/schema -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' --data-binary '{
"add-field" : {
"name":"name",
"type":"text_general",
"multiValued":false,
"stored":true
},
"add-field" : {
"name":"initial_release_date",
"type":"pdate",
"stored":true
}
}'
bin/post -c films example/films/films.json
curl http://localhost:8983/solr/films/config/params -H 'Content-type:application/json' -d '{
"update" : {
"facets": {
"facet.field":"genre"
}
}
}'
I got nothing when I do my search:
http://192.168.112.141:8983/solr/films/browse?q=batman
What am I missing here? I even tried to remove solr and reinstall it with no success.
From SolAdmin I can see 1100 docs are there in the core.
Thank you very much, any clue is appreciated.

When you are doing the query q=batman you mention no field to search against. Usual Solr syntax is field:value. In your case I assume it should be q=name:batman
As additional information - when no field is specified, Solr picks up the default field from the configuration, but most likely in your case, it was the field that is not existing in the index.
