I have created mappings for my index to tell the service not to sore certain fields. However, when I do a GET on the id of the document, I still the the value for that field. Indexing a document, I declare the "body" field as: "body" : { "index\_name": "body", "type": "string", "index": "analyzed", "store": "no" } But when I do a search ([http://localhost:9200/index0/document/2036e745da914b55b56027c2c8eaa021](http://localhost:9200/index0/document/2036e745da914b55b56027c2c8eaa021)) the body is still visible. I don't want to to keep the body for security reasons. This is an issue for me for numerous fields across numerous document types I index. What can i do to make these valuables searchable, but not stored and not readable, in Elastic Search? Thanks ---

Do you mean that it is returned as part of the \_source response? Fields by default are not stored, but the actual json document used to index is stored, which can be disabled by controlling the \_source mapping. -shay.banon On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 2:55 AM, John Chang [jchangkihtest2@gmail.com](mailto:jchangkihtest2@gmail.com)wrote: > I have created mappings for my index to tell the service not to sore > certain > fields.

How can I get at the fields I've mapped at "store" : "yes" when I've disabled the source? You are right, it was the \_source where I was seeing the stored json document, and I need to make sure I'm not holding on to that. So, I used the "\_source" mapping as you advised: curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/index0/document/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/index0/document/_mapping) -d ' { "document" : { "\_source" : {"enabled" : false}, It gets rid of the source json, but now I can't get anything from the document other than the ID. (I can get the id on the org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHit objects in the org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHits list in org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchResponse.) I want to still be able to get at some of the fields (those I mapped as "store" : "yes"). Disabling the source, I of course now get nulls from these methods on org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHit: sourceAsMap() (what I had been calling before disabling source) getSource() And I get empty maps back from these methods on org.elasticsearch.search.SearchHit: getFields() getHighlightFields() fields() Thanks, John ---
