We had similarly terrible experiences with AWS ES, so we moved to self-hosted Elastic. It's better but still pricey and requires more manhours dedicated to tuning.

Their move away from open-source has been unfortunate. For that and some other reasons we've ended up more impressed with Logz.io and Splunk SaaS.

You can query Elastic for specific fields only: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/curr...

Edit: As you said, there may be reasons on the backend not to filter things out of the query. Though it seems likely that the web response could be trimmed down.

Am I supposed to know who PG is? PolterGeist?
