I m using ES 2.3.4 and would like to highlight sentence cantaining matching words bordered by "." character, pratically the whole sentence. I know it was impossible with previouis versions. Is it possible now?

GET /\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"bool" : {  
"should" : [  
{ "term" : { "wo-patent-document.description\_IT" : "ruota" } },  
{ "term" : { "wo-patent-document.description\_IT" : "auto" } }  
],  
"minimum\_should\_match" : 1  
}  
},  
"highlight" : {  
"type": "fvh",  
"boundary\_max\_scan": 0,  
"boundary\_char": ".",  
"order" : "score",  
"fields" : {  
"wo-patent-document.description\_IT" : {}  
}

```
}

```

}
