=== Stored Fields
WARNING: The `stored_fields` parameter is about fields that are explicitly marked as
stored in the mapping, which is off by default and generally not recommended.
Use <<search-request-source-filtering,source filtering>> instead to select
subsets of the original source document to be returned.
Allows to selectively load specific stored fields for each document represented
by a search hit.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
"stored_fields" : ["user", "postDate"],
"query" : {
"term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
`*` can be used to load all stored fields from the document.
An empty array will cause only the `_id` and `_type` for each hit to be
returned, for example:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
"stored_fields" : [],
"query" : {
"term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
If the requested fields are not stored (`store` mapping set to `false`), they will be ignored.
Stored field values fetched from the document itself are always returned as an array. On the contrary, metadata fields like `_routing` are never returned as an array.
Also only leaf fields can be returned via the `field` option. So object fields can't be returned and such requests
will fail.
Script fields can also be automatically detected and used as fields, so
things like `_source.obj1.field1` can be used, though not recommended, as
`obj1.field1` will work as well.
NOTE: On its own, `stored_fields` cannot be used to load fields in nested
objects -- if a field contains a nested object in its path, then no data will
be returned for that stored field. To access nested fields, `stored_fields`
must be used within an <<search-request-inner-hits, `inner_hits`>> block.
==== Disable stored fields entirely
To disable the stored fields (and metadata fields) entirely use: `_none_`:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_search
{
"stored_fields": "_none_",
"query" : {
"term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
NOTE: <<search-request-source-filtering,`_source`>> and <<search-request-version, `version`>> parameters cannot be activated if `_none_` is used.
