Hello,

i have a little problem with elastic search :

My doc looks like : (serialized as JSON doc)  
  
  
 Brandon   
 10   
  
  
 Monica   
 14

My search request :  
{  
"fields": ["user.age"],  
"query": {  
"bool" : {  
"must" :  
{ "multi\_match" : {  
"query" : "Brandon",  
"fields" : ["_.name_.$"] }  
}  
}  
}  
}

I got : 10 and 14 as result (all fields user.age in the doc)

I only want to get 14 ( the age of brandon)  
Can we only get the field about the search field ?

( sorry for my english, i'm not ! 😛 )

sorry for double post, i not subscibe first time....

The only way to achieve the result you are seeking is to use parent/child  
documents:
