We have following example :

In the example :

{  
"tweet": [elasticsearch, flexible, very],  
"[user.id](http://user.id)": [@jsmith],  
"user.gender": [male],  
"user.age": [26],  
"user.name.full": [john, smith],  
"user.name.first": [john],  
"user.name.last": [smith]  
}

If the user searched for “john”, the search result will have [user.name.full, user.name.first] as field names in the response.

Is it possible? if so can someone give direction?

Thanks!
