Hello Everyone,

Can someone please help me here.  
I spent many hours trying to convert this simple JSON query to C# NEST (v2.0.2) syntax with no luck .

{  
"fields": [],  
"query": {  
"match": {  
"file.content": "mySearch"  
}  
},  
"highlight": {  
"fields": {  
"file.content": {  
"number\_of\_fragments": 0  
}  
}  
}  
}

this is what I tried :  
var searchResults = client.Search (body =\>  
body.Query (query =\> query  
.QueryString (qs =\> qs  
.Query (mySearch)))  
.Highlight (h =\> h  
.Fields (fs =\> fs  
.Field (p =\> p.File.Content).Type (HighlighterType.Fvh)  
.NumberOfFragments (0)  
)  
)  
);

changing or removing the highlighter type didn't help.

searchResults.Highlights.Count is 0  
but searchResults.Documents has the right number of documents.

Thanks.
