I have the following query to group the top N users by geo-grid:

> POST user-listing/\_search  
> {  
> "size": 0,  
> "query": {  
> "function\_score": {  
> "query": {  
> "match\_all": {}  
> },  
> "random\_score": {}  
> }  
> },  
> "aggs": {  
> "group\_by\_location": {  
> "geohash\_grid": {  
> "field": "location",  
> "precision": 4  
> },  
> "aggs": {  
> "users": {  
> "top\_hits": {  
> "size": 100  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }

However, I don't want to return the whole record of each user, just the "email" field. I tried to use "includes" and/or "excludes" but couldn't get it to work. Any suggestions?
