The `fields` operator allows you to specify which fields to display and their order in the results of a query. Use a fields operator to reduce the "clutter" of a search output that contains fields that aren't completely relevant to your query.

:::info
Using the `fields` operator includes both the specified fields and the default fields (from built-in sources and FERs). However, when `fields =` is used, only the specified fields are included in the query results. Make sure to use the `_messagetime` and `_messagecount` for `fields =` operator to function.

* Allowlist - only the fields included are kept in the search output.
