How to see the value of the _all field

Question

I am using Elasticsearch. Do we have any way to view the value of _all field, like other fields viewed in _source?

Based on javanna's answer here (https://stackoverflow.com/a/16526383/382774), the answer is no, you can't view the _all field. It is an indexed field, not a stored field.

Simplified, it's just the aggregated contents of the applicable fields from your document, and is the default field that ES uses for searching, when a target field isn't specified in your queries.
