In ES 6.7, I could execute the following:  
GET /my\_index/\_search  
{  
"\_source": "name",  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"query": "Columbia"  
}  
}  
}

And my search results would only show me the Name field.

When I do this same search in ES7.0, I don't see the Name field in my search results. How do I modify my search appropriately?

Thanks!

Hey,

can you share a fully reproducible example? This works for me

```auto
PUT my_index/_doc/1
{
  "name" : "my_name",
  "location" : "Columbia"
}

# output contains my_name, but not Columbia
GET /my_index/_search
{
  "_source": "name",
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "query": "Columbia"
    }
  }
}

```

Thanks!

You're right, there are no problems. I misspelled the field name. Thanks!
