Removing _source tag from results?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'd like to minimize the query output that ES generates to the essentials only. To do this, I'm using filter_query = hits.total,hits.hits._source.email,hits.hits._source.name. This works as expected, stripping fields like _score, _index and _id:

{
      "_source": {
        "email": "jeroen@topsecret.xxx",
        "name": "jeroen1"
      }
}

However, I want to get rid of _source as well, ending up with:

{
        "email": "jeroen@topsecret.xxx",
        "name": "jeroen1"
}

How can I do this? Thanks!

First: wrap code in ` and code blocks in ``` so they are easier to read.

Second: there isn't a generic transformation like that available that I know of. In general the other options around what fields are returned are about not having to load or deserialize them, not how they look.

Code blocks inserted, sorry.
