Overview
This PR adds the
_idfield to the object returned byhelpers.search.Motivation
A vast majority of my use cases require knowing the IDs of the documents being fetched, which is why I end up using instead the regular
searchfunction instead of thehelpers.searchhandy helper.Additional considerations
At first I thought about adding an extra parameter to the function (
extraOptions?), but after some consideration, I'm not sure that changing the existing behavior would be disruptive.Still, I don't mind re-implementing this feature in any other manner.
Some notes
_idis an illegal field name, meaning_sourcewill never include it.@es_quirkI'm referring to in the comments (exists since version 8.14.0):
