Hi,

I search "foo" in a nested obj. with:

curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/horyou\_fr/member/\_search](http://localhost:9200/horyou_fr/member/_search)' -d '{  
"query": {  
"nested": {  
"path": "contents",  
"query": {  
"bool" : {  
"must" : [

{

```
                        "text" : {"contents.content" : "foo"}
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

```

}'

The response is:

{

```
"took": 2,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
    "total": 5,
    "successful": 5,
    "failed": 0
},
"hits": {
    "total": 1,
    "max_score": 2.098612,
    "hits": [
        {
            "_index": "horyou_fr",
            "_type": "member",
            "_id": "member-1",
            "_score": 2.098612,
            "_source": {
                "slug": "jacque-selere",
                "firstname": "Jacque",
                "lastname": "Selere",
                "__description": null,
                "stars": 0,
                "picture": 

```

"5a9a8f24d0131d2ef1f3a1eb75d82a4a/:format/default.jpg",  
"contents": [  
{  
"content": "foo"  
},  
{  
"content": "bar"  
}  
]  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}

Is it possible to remove "content": "bar" (which doesn't match my query)  
from the response?

Thanks!

What you are getting in \_source is exactly what you indexed. Elasticsearch  
doesn't process source during retrieval. So, the best way to do it is to  
remove "bar" on the client side.
