Hi, I am new to elasticsearch , and in the middle of setting up my first elasticsearch server. I am using the attachment plugin, and I'm indexing files - mainly html, when I"m using the java API - I'm able to query and get the highlights, and the relevant fields of the file - i.e. file.title, file.content\_type but when I'm using curl - I get the \_source which can be big because the file contains all the base64 encoded file which I don't need, and I don't get the file.\* fields. this is my java search: SearchRequestBuilder searchBuilder = client.prepareSearch().setQuery(query) .addField(TITLE) .addField(PATH) .addField(CONTENT\_TYPE) .addHighlightedField(FILE); return searchBuilder.execute().actionGet(); this is my curl search: curl -XPOST "[http://localhost:9200/\_search](http://localhost:9200/_search)" -d' { "query": { "query\_string": { "fields" : ["title", "content\_type", "path"], "query": "my search" } }, "highlight" : { "fields" : { "file" : {"fragment\_size" : 50, "number\_of\_fragments" : 3} } } }' what am I doing wrong? thanks, Elyran -- This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

You should store the file.file field.

I looked at the link you send and found out that I put the fields in the wrong place , so when I did this: curl -XPOST "[http://localhost:9200/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/_search?pretty=true)" -d' { "fields" : ["title", "content\_type", "path"], "query": { "query\_string": { "query": "esapi" } }, "highlight" : { "fields" : { "file" : {"fragment\_size" : 50, "number\_of\_fragments" : 3} } } }' I got only the fields I needed thanks On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 8:57 AM, David Pilato [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) wrote: > You should store the file.file field. > Have a look at this: [Test of attachments plugin · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/dadoonet/3907010) > > ## HTH > > _David Pilato_ | _Technical Advocate_ | _[Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com)_ > @dadoonet [https://twitter.com/dadoonet](https://twitter.com/dadoonet) | @elasticsearchfr[https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr](https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr) > | @scrutmydocs [https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs](https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs) > > Le 17 sept. 2013 à 08:49, Elyran Kogan [elyran@liveperson.com](mailto:elyran@liveperson.com) a écrit : > > Hi, > > I am new to elasticsearch , and in the middle of setting up my first > elasticsearch server. > > I am using the attachment plugin, and I'm indexing files - mainly html, > > when I"m using the java API - I'm able to query and get the highlights, > and the relevant fields of the file - > i.e. file.title, file.content\_type > > but when I'm using curl - I get the \_source which can be big because the > file contains all the base64 encoded file which I don't need, > and I don't get the file.\* fields. > > this is my java search: > > SearchRequestBuilder searchBuilder = client.prepareSearch().setQuery(query) > .addField(TITLE) > .addField(PATH) > .addField(CONTENT\_TYPE) > .addHighlightedField(FILE); > return searchBuilder.execute().actionGet(); > > this is my curl search: > > curl -XPOST "[http://localhost:9200/\_search](http://localhost:9200/_search)" -d' > { > "query": { > "query\_string": { > "fields" : ["title", "content\_type", "path"], > "query": "my search" > } > }, > "highlight" : { > "fields" : { > "file" : {"fragment\_size" : 50, "number\_of\_fragments" : 3} > } > } > > }' > > what am I doing wrong? > > thanks, > Elyran > > This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information. > If you are not the addressee or authorized to receive this on behalf of > the addressee you must not use, copy, disclose or take action based on this > message or any information herein. > If you have received this message in error, please advise the sender > immediately by reply email and delete this message.
