In the gist at the bottom, can somebody point out to me why \_size isn't working? Am I just being incredibly dense? > ---

Thanks for the quick reply! Didn't work though; I've updated the gist with the output that I'm getting. ---

It doesn't get stored by default, just indexed (so you can query/facet on it). You can set store to yes on it and then it will also be stored.

Thanks again for the quick reply! I updated the gist again, this time with "store": "yes" to \_size as well as properties.body, but I'm still unable to get the field back as part of the doc GET (with and without fields=). Am I still doing something wrong, or this is by design? ---

Yea, I see what happens. This is because of the real time get aspect (search would return it), opened an issue: [Real time get on a stored \_size field does not return its value · Issue #1724 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1724).

Great! Now I'm really looking forward to 0.19.0. Cheers! ---
