Hi, I want to have certain data in my elasticsearch index but I don't want it to be returned with a query. At the moment it seems to return every bit of data I have for each index and then I use my PHP application to hide it. Is it possible to select what fields elasticsearch returns in it's response to my PHP application. For example for each time: Name Location Description Keywords Unique ID Create date I just want to have in the response from elasticsearch: Name Location Description -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
