response =
client.prepareSearch().setQuery(QueryBuilders.queryString("_"+searchText+"_")).setIndices("dc\_user\_idx").setExplain(true)
.setTypes("DC\_USER","DC\_ROLE").execute().actionGet();

I would say: if you don't want to search in it, don't index it! 😉
You should know that when searching with query string, you search in \_all field.
You can define your own mapping for your type and tell that for the field \_class: include\_in\_all : false
See: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/all-field.html)
You can also disable indexing for this field. See : index: no in [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/core-types.html)
Also, you can use multi match to search on fields you want: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/multi-match-query.html)
