You can control indexing of individual fields by explicitly specifying  
field mapping during index creation or by using Put Mapping API. See  
[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/index.html) for  
more information.
