Ignore mapping Exceptions at searching time

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

hi
Elasticsearch by default throws an exception if searching data for a field which does not fit the existing type. For example, if a field has been created as number type, index a document with a string value for that field causes an error.
i know that Malformed fields are silently ignored at indexing time when ignore_malformed is turned on. but i want to ignore mapping Exceptions at searching time, Is this possible?
