Hello dear all, the last days I struggle with queries and structures to index and query stuff like this. {"project" : ``` { "set1" : { "title" : "A", "id" : "1234", "fulltext" : "Some Text" }, "set2" : { "title": "Believe", "id": "5678", "fulltext": "inside the fied" }, "set3" : { "title": "imagination", "id": "9", "fulltext": "makes trouble" } } ``` } So, when I'm searching for "inside the field" I just want to get back all field from "set1". The problem is, that the exact name of the field "set\*" ist not known. I know that the stuff I want to do is a little bit cruel. But it would be nice to get it working. I tried queries like this: { "query" : { "query\_string" : { "query" : "praedicatum" } }, "\_source" : { "includes" : ["project"], "excludes" : [null] } } But in this way, of course I get back the all entries of the field "project". thanks to you! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Additional: At the beginning I had all entries in an array. But By searching for the strings I got also back the wohle array. The document looks in this way: { "project" : ``` [ { "title" : "A", "id" : "1234", "fulltext" : "Some Text" }, { "title": "Believe", "id": "5678", "fulltext": "inside the fied" }, { "title": "imagination", "id": "9", "fulltext": "makes trouble" } ] ``` } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You currently can only get all of the original document (minus the excludes) when using inner/nested documents. There is currently an open issue, but I do not think there has been any progress until the search refactor is completed: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3022](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3022) (no need for more +1s, the team knows about the issue) -- Ivan On Thu, May 15, 2014 at 7:54 AM, [maximilian.brodhun@googlemail.com](mailto:maximilian.brodhun@googlemail.com) wrote: > Additional: > > At the beginning I had all entries in an array.

Thanks for the answer! Hope they make it soon. But I searched a while and found this plugin. > **[wikimedia/search-highlighter](https://github.com/wikimedia/search-highlighter)** > > search-highlighter - Github mirror of "search/highlighter" - our actual code is hosted with Gerrit (please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer\_access for contributing It doesn't solute the problem at all, but till the team make it, it will work!
