`include_in_all`

edit

The include_in_all parameter provides per-field control over which fields are included in the _all field. It defaults to true, unless index is set to no.

This example demonstrates how to exclude the date field from the _all field:

PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "my_type": {
      "properties": {
        "title": { 
          "type": "string"
        }
        "content": { 
          "type": "string"
        },
        "date": { 
          "type": "date",
          "include_in_all": false
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

	The `title` and `content` fields will be included in the `_all` field.
	The `date` field will not be included in the `_all` field.

The include_in_all setting is allowed to have different settings for fields of the same name in the same index. Its value can be updated on existing fields using the PUT mapping API.

The include_in_all parameter can also be set at the type level and on object or nested fields, in which case all sub- fields inherit that setting. For instance:

PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "my_type": {
      "include_in_all": false, 
      "properties": {
        "title":          { "type": "string" },
        "author": {
          "include_in_all": true, 
          "properties": {
            "first_name": { "type": "string" },
            "last_name":  { "type": "string" }
          }
        },
        "editor": {
          "properties": {
            "first_name": { "type": "string" }, 
            "last_name":  { "type": "string", "include_in_all": true } 
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

	All fields in `my_type` are excluded from `_all`.
	The `author.first_name` and `author.last_name` fields are included in `_all`.
	Only the `editor.last_name` field is included in `_all`. The `editor.first_name` inherits the type-level setting and is excluded.

Multi-fields and include_in_all

The original field value is added to the _all field, not the terms produced by a field’s analyzer. For this reason, it makes no sense to set include_in_all to true on multi-fields, as each multi-field has exactly the same value as its parent.
