Hi there,

I wonder if it's possible in Kibana discover to exclude certain fields from the result set (not just hide the columns). In other words I onder if is possible to user the `_source` filtering in Kibana.

Thank you very much

Would adding [field security](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/field-level-security.html) for the role of the user working with Discover work for you? That is, hiding entirely the selected fields for the user, not just from Discover but from any other application.
