Hi @khodael\_reza, You can control to include/exclude the complete document with `_source` parameter. See : [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-source-filtering.html](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-source-filtering.html) Does it make sense? ---
