My first day with ElasticSearch and it's wonderful.

The following query works fine:

curl -XGET '  
[http://localhost:9200/demo/news/1177421/\_mlt?mlt\_fields=title,content&fields=id&min\_doc\_freq=1&pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/demo/news/1177421/_mlt?mlt_fields=title,content&fields=id&min_doc_freq=1&pretty=true)  
'

But the following returns incorrect results:

curl -XPOST '[http://localhost:9200/demo/news/1177421/\_mlt](http://localhost:9200/demo/news/1177421/_mlt)' -d '{  
"query":  
{  
"more\_like\_this" : {  
"fields": ["title", "content"],  
"ids": ["1177421"],  
"min\_doc\_freq": 1  
}  
},  
"fields":["id", "title"]  
}'

What am I missing?

My goal is to get results with just the id/title of the related posts.
