SearchDescriptor.Fields should (optionally) take a list of field names.

I'm currently doing a very simple search with nest, but I need to limit the fields being returned. I'm declaring my search as follows:

    SearchDescriptor<dynamic> search = new SearchDescriptor<dynamic>();

This works perfectly for my needs (as making models for our returns is a big maintenance concern), however, trying to specify Fields is almost impossible to do. I've managed to get it to work by doing this:

    search.Fields(f => (new { listing_name = "" }).listing_name);

This is very difficult to work with, and while I understand that if I wasn't using dynamic this would be more straightforward, I believe the simplest solution would be to have Fields optionally take a list of field names. It's straightforward, and is the 'least surprising' way of working with the Fields parameter (imho).

yuck, you are absolutely right. I noticed this a few weeks back but forgot to write it on my todo list.

Wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for.

Amazing response time, too.
