I have read that it isn't possible (and have tried numerous ways) to get
highlighting working with a has\_child query.
Is there anything I could do differently to get that working, outside of
using nested objects?
Example:
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"should": [
{
"query\_string": {
"query": "comment",
"fields": ["title^2", "body"],
"use\_dis\_max": true,
"default\_operator": "and"
}
},
{
"has\_child": {
"type": "comment",
"boost": 1.0,
"query": { "term": { "body": "comment" } }
}
}
],
"minimum\_number\_should\_match": 1
}
},
"highlight": {
"number\_of\_fragments": 1,
"fragment\_size": 150,
"pre\_tags" : ["[BHL]"],
"post\_tags" : ["[EHL]"],
"fields" : {
"title": {},
"body": {}
}
}
}
Thanks,
Chip

Just looking for this myself. Pretty sure it's not implemented.
