i'm trying to create a query with the new template query in elasticsearch with highlight fields. but im unable to get the highlighted fields in the response.  
query is something like-  
\_search/template?search\_type=dfs\_query\_then\_fetch  
{  
"id": "suggestions",  
"params": {  
"query\_string": " part",  
"from": 0,  
"size": 5,  
"\_source": {  
"includes": [  
"tag._",  
"dimension\_attribute._",  
"dimension\_name"  
],  
"excludes": []  
},  
"\_type": [  
"dimension",  
"fact"  
],

```
  "stored_fields": [
     "icon",
     "title",
     "typeaheadtext",
     "description",
     "source",
     "url",
     "hint"
  ]
