I'm using the "fields" option inside my queries...  
when i used it on my 1.7 ES, i got results ok.  
for example:

> GET records/\_search  
> {  
> "size": 20,  
> "fields": ["recordLocation"]  
> }

I got back results like:

> "hits": [  
> {  
> "\_index": "record",  
> "\_type": "recordType",  
> "\_id": "AVPCt3tP8YsyAZn1cl6R",  
> "\_score": 1,  
> "fields": {  
> "recordLocation": [  
> "46.367424,7.9544196"  
> ]  
> }  
> }

Today i switched to Elastic 2.3.1, and the same query now returning

> ```
> "hits": [
> {
> "_index": "record",
> "_type": "recordType",
> "_id": "AVPqoCiyukfNLt2Gxpfw",
> "_score": 1,
> "fields": {
> "recordLocation": [
> 3277776633078856000
> ]
> }
> }
> 
> ```

Is this a bug? or is there another way to retrieve the lat/lon?

OK, just saw the source\_filter:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-source-filtering.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-source-filtering.html)

never mind 🙂
