I followed the steps in this tutorial: > **[elastic/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/tree/v2.3.2)** > > elasticsearch-mapper-attachments - Mapper Attachments Type plugin for Elasticsearch I am unable to GET text that is in decoded format. For example: "file": "IkdvZCBTYXZlIHRoZSBRdWVlbiIgKGFsdGVybmF0aXZlbHkgIkdvZCBTYXZlIHRoZSBLaW5nIg==" should be decoded to "God Save the Queen" (alternatively "God Save the King" but I am getting the same encoded content under \_source. I cannot see the fields even after storing them. Where have I gone wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You are looking into the \_source field which is not modified by elasticsearch. You need to ask for your stored field at search time. Have a look at fields option in search API.
