How to restrict search to selected fields when using q param

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi team,

Our users generally use q param to search people. E.g. q="Matthew North" or just q="North". This results in our ES searching across all our 100+ fields defined in the schema and chances are it returns even those users who have region="North America". How do I restrict my search in such a case where we can limit the search only to firstName, lastName, middleName instead of all 100+ fields

We are using Elasticsearch 7.10.0. Sorry forgot to mention that earlier.

Elasticsearch 7.10 is EOL and no longer supported. Please upgrade ASAP.
