Hello Everything is on subject I have to use fuzzy for my fileds (title,content) and when I'm searching I want to see a part of the sentance where my keyword is. This, together, doesn't work: $params['body']['highlight']['fields'][$value]['fragment\_size']=30; $params['body']['query']['fuzzy']=0.2; Have we a way to use highlight and fuzzy together or an other way equivalent ? Thank to you in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Usually its better to show a recreation with curl. PHP isn't always understood. Vocabulary point: fuzzy, prefix, and regex queries are called "multi term queries". Anyway, there are three highlighters built in to Elasticsearch all of which have different feature sets. I'm not sure if the plain highlighter supports multi term queries, but you can try the fast vector highlighter or the postings highlighter which do support multi term queries.

For completeness sake I should mention that I maintain a fourth highlighter that also supports multi term queries but it is a plugin: > **[GitHub - wikimedia/search-highlighter: Github mirror of "search/highlighter"...](https://github.com/wikimedia/search-highlighter)** > > Github mirror of "search/highlighter" - our actual code is hosted with Gerrit (please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer\_access for contributing - GitHub - wikimedia/search-high...
