Hi, I've set "doc\_values": false for some fields because of this when I try to use this in simple\_query\_string it's not searching over those fields, but if I remove the fields parameter from simple\_query\_string it searches over that field.

```auto
**mapping:**
    {
      "name": {
            "properties": { 
                     "type":"keyword",
                     "doc_values":False
              }
    }

**document**
    { "name": "riswan"}

**query**

    { 
      "simple_query_string": {
            "query": "riswan",
            "fields": ["name"] //not working
      }
    }

  { 
      "simple_query_string": {
            "query": "riswan",
            "fields": [] //working
      }
    }

```
