Hi,

I have a document with many text fields. I am running a search query on these fields using the below query

```
{
  "query": {
    "multi_match": {
      "query": "abc",
      "fields": ["UserName", "Company", "Email", "Phone"],
      "type" : "phrase_prefix"
    }
  }
}

```

which works well,

but I get the response in \_source with the the whole data mapped to their keys, where as I need them in an array as comma seperated values, and also of only matching strings. How can I achieve the same?

Thanks  
Paddy
