PPL "fields" command is only showing some results

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):
Opensearch v2.14.0

Describe the issue:
It appears that whenever I use the “fields” command in PPL, my query results appear to get filtered. I’ve yet to spot the exact pattern as to how but perhaps it’s a dedup type of thing happening to them. Can anyone explain why simply piping my query through fields command would result in fewer results? I can’t see why from the field command documentation. Commands - OpenSearch Documentation

You can replicate what I’m describing on the opensearch playground. The following query returns 630 hits.

source = opensearch_dashboards_sample_data_logs | where match(request,‘filebeat’)

where as the following query returns < 200 results
source = opensearch_dashboards_sample_data_logs | where match(request,‘filebeat’) | fields request

Configuration:

Thanks!
