Attachment highlighting while excluding from source?

I've resorted to excluding attachment content to prevent the content of the
indexed files from being included as part of search results.

Is it still possible to do highlighting for the file contents? My initial
testing tells me no but I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

You mean you excluded it so it won't be returned when you get back _source?
You can two options:

  1. Use partials in search request, to exclude the attachment, and still
    store the full source.
    Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic (see
    under partial). Note, this will still load the _source and parse it, and
    then exclude the attachment part.
  2. Exclude the attachment from _source in the mapping, but mark it as
    stored (store set to yet) in the mapping. Then, it will be stored "on its
    own" separate from _source.

Thanks Shay. I went with #2 and it works great.

#2 does not work for me. I could not figure out what I doing wrong here. Please help !
Here's my mapping:

mapping :_source => { :excludes => ['attachment_original'] } do
indexes :id, :type => 'integer'
indexes :folder_id, :type => 'integer'
indexes :attachment_file_name
indexes :attachment_updated_at, :type => 'date'
indexes :attachment_original, :type => 'attachment',
:fields => {:title => {:store => "yes"},
:attachment_original => {:term_vector => "with_positions_offsets", :store => "yes"}}

end

def to_indexed_json
to_json(:methods => [:attachment_original])
end

the curl command that is generated :

curl -X GET "http://localhost:9200/user_files/user_file/_search?pretty=true" -d '{"query":{"query_string":{"query":"rspec","default_operator":"AND"}},"filter":{"term":{"folder_id":1}},"highlight":{"fields":{"attachment_original":{}}}}'

the search works find, but the attachement file is included in the search results as seen here:

"_source" : {"user_file":{"id":5,"folder_id":1,"updated_at":"2012-08-16T11:32:41Z","attachment_file_size":179895,"attachment_updated_at":"2012-08-16T11:32:41Z","attachment_file_name":"hw4.pdf","attachment_content_type":"application/pdf","created_at":"2012-08-16T11:32:41Z","attachment_original":"JVBERi0xL .....
