Here is a link that can provide some information.

Kibana scripted fields simply store the script and inject it into the ES query for you.

First of all Thanks for the answer.

I thought that when I created the script field in Kibana, I didn't need specify again the script in the search.

Now I can get the scriptfield:

GET /prova/\_search  
{  
"script\_fields": {  
"a": {  
"script": "doc['opinion'].value\*2"  
}  
}

But I only can get the script value, not the other fields of the index, how can I get the fields of the index and the scriptField please?

**Search with fields**  
---\> GET prova/\_search

**Search with scriptfield**  
-----\>

GET /prova/\_search  
{  
"script\_fields": {  
"a": {  
"script": "doc['opinion'].value\*2"  
}  
}

}

Thanks for all the help!!

This one took a little playing around for me too.

If you include a `"_source"` property in your search object, it returns all of your fields.

ie:

```auto
POST script-field-test/_search
{
  "_source": {},
  "script_fields" : {
      "age-in-a-millennium" : {
          "script" : "doc['age'].value + 1000"
      }
  }
}

```

How I found this:  
I added a scripted field in Kibana, and then navigated to Discover. I then watched the Network tab in my browser developer tools and examined the request payload for the `_msearch` request I found there.
