Hello,

I am facing the following issue:

I am using the fast vector highlighter on percolate. Everything works fine as long as the document to percolate do not contains nested fields. I do not care about highlighting on the nested fields and also I do not do a nested search.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,  
Anca
