Hi,

I am doing a PHRASE\_PREFIX TextQuery on a non-analysed field. But  
when I look for the highlights using:

highlightFieldsMap = hit.getHighlightFields()

I get nothing. My ES version is 16.2. Highlights for  
QueryStringQuery work fine.

Best Regards,

David.

Can you try with 0.17? Do you have term vectors on the field you highlight?

Hi,

This seems to be working ok now, not sure why, I didn't change  
versions from 0.16.2. I'm using the normal highlighter, rather than  
setting "term\_vector" : "with\_positions\_offsets" in the mapping.

Will update this thread if I get to the bottom of the issue.

David.
