Hello,

I'm working on a filter query to speed up some searches but I only want to return certain fields. I've been running into some issues adding the fields I want to display to my query. This is what I have working:

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must":{ 
        "match": {
             "user.id": "producer"
        }
      },
            "filter": [
        { "term": { "project": "closed" }}
      ]
    }
  }
  }

```

There are a number of fields in the document and I only want to return fields: `project.name`, 'cost.initial`, `cost.adjusted` `cost.total`

Thanks

Hello,

I realize that isn't going to work. I'm trying to build this query as a saved search for a more performant vizualization.
