Hey, Wanted to know if this is a desired behavior (seems like it shouldnt be, after reading [http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/What-does-it-mean-to-quot-store-quot-a-field-td3514176.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/What-does-it-mean-to-quot-store-quot-a-field-td3514176.html) ) I have an index where i disabled \_source and \_all, but i did set "store" : "yes" on a field. when I query (using head plugin), I can query my field for terms, and get different results, but dont see the content of the stored field. do I have to save the \_source in order to see my field content? p.s I am using ES 0.20.5 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, you can store the field and use the fields parameter when getting a document or searching documents.
