Hello! I am really struggling to get highlight working in ES 2.3.4 1. I do not have any specific schema (mappings) 2. I do have minimal data amout, as well my query is the simpliest 3. This is my "search" bash script which I execute: 4. And below is a result of execution - hits are shown but **no highlight field**! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/4/4bb699c36f61b5077a785c92884e6344c4cb0f21.png) What am I doing wrong? should be something easy here... ---
