Hello,

My query result (match all) using head plugin search:  
locahost:9200/mydb/mycollect/\_search

{

```
"took": 1,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
    "total": 5,
    "successful": 5,
    "failed": 0
},
"hits": {
    "total": 1,
    "max_score": 1,
    "hits": [
        {
            "_index": "mydb",
            "_type": "mycollect",
            "_id": "54ac6333b760d23c7635ce0b",
            "_score": 1,
            "_source": {
                "content": {
                    "_content_type": "String",
                    "_title": "def.xml",
                    "_content": 

```

"PD94bWwgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4wIiBlbmNvZGluZz0iVVRGLTgiIHN0YW5kYWxvbmU9InllcyI"  
},  
"filename": "def.xml",  
"contentType": "String",  
"md5": "4f5cfde85d1b6f48658b82af980714c7",  
"length": 2438,  
"chunkSize": 261120,  
"uploadDate": "2015-01-06T22:35:31.289Z",  
"metadata": {  
"Description": "def XML File",  
"tags": [  
"def"  
,  
"XML"  
]  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}

}

I'm able to find "filename". But wondering how do I fetch "Description" &  
"tags" fields from "metadata".

I'm using Jest client to execute search which is not returning  
"Description" field contents:

SearchSourceBuilder searchSourceBuilder = new SearchSourceBuilder();  
searchSourceBuilder.query(QueryBuilders.wildcardQuery("Description", "\*"));

```
     Search search = new Search.Builder(searchSourceBuilder.toString())
                                     // multiple index or types can be 

```

added.  
.addIndex("mydb")  
.addType("mycollect")  
.build();

Appreciate your help.
