Is there any way in ES to index the data with comment(comment part is to be avoided from indexing ). By this I mean to say that if i have data like this: **"TechCrunch is a group-edited blog that profiles the companies, products and events defining and transforming creative LinkedIn profiles appears to be over. _//this is comment//_ "** So while indexing the data i want ES to index the data but ignore the content which are enclosed in _ **//this is comment//** _ that is nothing but to ignore some text which has been given as comment. ---

Yes, you can add comments. They will appear in \_source. curl -XPUT '0:9200/test/doc/1' -d '{ "Hello" : "World" /\* comment \*/ }' curl '0:9200/test/doc/1' {"\_index":"test","\_type":"doc","\_id":"1","\_version":1,"found":true, "\_source" : { "Hello" : "World" /\* comment \*/ }} There is also the \_meta tag > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
