is there any way to get only the '\_source' part of the result of the query .

Like from below result i want only the source part from the hits.

{  
"took" : 0,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 5,  
"skipped" : 0,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 1,  
"max\_score" : 1.0,  
"hits" : [  
{  
"\_index" : "abc",  
"\_type" : "abc",  
"\_id" : "13",  
"\_score" : 1.0,  
"\_source" : {  
"abc":125  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}

@Muna You can add a filter\_path query param, e.g.

```auto
GET /kibana_sample_data_ecommerce/_search?filter_path=hits.hits._source
{
  "query": {
    "match_all": {}
  },
  "size": 10
}

```

Returns:
