Hi ,
Im trying the Kibana Search Applications for the first time. Initially when I created the search application against a certain index I was getting all the fields displayed. After some reading I found that I can you update the search template behind the search application to include certain fields. the steps were as follows:
1- I went to the Kibana Deve Tools and made the following API call to update my search template and return the "text" field using the _source config:
PUT /_application/search_application/my_api_search_application
{
"indices": [ "openai-chunk-index" ],
"template": {
"script": {
"source": {
"query":{
"sparse_vector": {
"field": "text_embedding",
"inference_id": "semantic_elser_model_2",
"query": "{{query_string}}"
}
},
"_source":"text"
},
"params": {
"query_string": "*",
"default_field": "text_embedding"
}
}
}
}
2- Test the the updated Search Application by submitting query as follows:
POST _application/search_application/my_api_search_application/_search
{
"params": {
"query_string": "Some Query..."}
}
The response I got return the text field as expected:
{
"took": 86,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 1,
"successful": 1,
"skipped": 0,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": {
"value": 381,
"relation": "eq"
},
"max_score": 18.074097,
"hits": [
{
"_index": "openai-chunk-index",
"_id": "Ll6gCJQBxHM1tEFFR1rj",
"_score": 18.074097,
"_source": {
"text": """....Some Text"""
}
}
My problem is when I go back to the search application my_api_search_application and open the view with the search bar I still get all the fields when I search for the same query 
Why is that ? Can someone point me what am I doing wrong. I understand its Beta version and things might not work perfectly but is that the expected behavior or its a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks
