Hi, is there a possibility to define (for specific type) for all fields which will be added dynamically to be stored (when field names are not known in advance)? Fields need to be stored for selective searching with 'fields' param, not added to \_all field which is stored, because not all users have the privilege to see \_all fields or \_source value.

Hi, No, there isn't an option to do that, and you need to explicitly define it. You can open a feature request for this, it should be simple. Note though, that if you load several fields, the search will be slower. -shay.banon On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 9:42 PM, Tomislav Poljak [tpoljak@gmail.com](mailto:tpoljak@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > is there a possibility to define (for specific type) for all fields > which will be added dynamically to be stored (when field names are not > known in advance)? > > Fields need to be stored for selective searching with 'fields' param, > not added to \_all field which is stored, because not all users have the > privilege to see \_all fields or \_source value. > > Tomislav ---
