I have a field which is nested inside other field, I want to make that field not searchable my mapping looks like this

dataset": {  
"properties": {  
"identifier": {  
"type": "text"  
},  
"title": {  
"type": "text",  
"term\_vector" : "with\_positions\_offsets"  
},  
"description": {  
"type": "text"  
},  
"refinement": {  
"type": "text"  
},  
"isAbout": {  
"type": "text"  
},  
"primaryPublications": {  
"type": "text"  
},  
"aggregation": {  
"type": "text",  
"include\_in\_all": false,  
"store": "no"  
},  
"availability": {  
"type": "text",  
"include\_in\_all": false  
}  
}  
}

when I get the mapping using curl command I can still the fields for which I marked include\_in\_all false. is there any other way to make the field non-searchable.
