It would be possible to implement a "highlighter" that just returned which terms matched which fields but Elasticsearch doesn't have one now. I think you have two options at this point: 1. Do something hacky with highlighting like asking for the text length to be the max(all\_strings.map(strlen).max, min\_highlight\_length), strip the text that isn't highlighted, and dedupe. 2. Do two searches either via multisearch or sequentially.
