Hi,  
I wanted to disable storing \_source field and also to not make one of  
the fields not analyzable, this is the code:  
Client client = node.client();

```
		 XContentBuilder data = jsonBuilder().startObject()
         .startObject("properties")
                 .startObject("bdate")
                         .field("type", "string")
                         .field("index", "not_analyzed")
                         .field("store", "yes")
                 .endObject()
                 .startObject("_source")
                         .field("enabled", false)
                 .endObject()
                 .endObject()
         .endObject();

		client.admin().indices().create(new

```

CreateIndexRequest("test").mapping("cont", data));  
IndexResponse indexRes = client.prepareIndex("test", "cont", "1")  
.setSource(jsonBuilder()  
.startObject()  
.field("Name", "Test")  
.field("BirthDate", new Date())  
.field("Email", "test@test.com")  
.field("bdate", "1234567890")  
.endObject()  
).execute()  
.actionGet();

But, when I'm doing search - I still get the \_source field , but on  
the other hand - the not\_analyzable field is indeed not participating  
in  
the search.  
What could be my mistake here ?

Thank You and Best Regards.

The \_source needs to be on the same level as properties, not within it.
