What tool are you using?
A browser (or curl) should not add color to JSON docs...

But there is an highlighting feature in Elasticsearch which will produce something you can display.
See http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-highlighting.html

I am using browser simply hit the URL, using ajax call this URL
http://localhost:9200/productindex/_search?q=armani
what i want all the armani word are highlighted on my webpage, no need for
color change if not possible.
Is there any parameter in URI like
q for query(http://localhost:9200/productindex/_search?q=armani),
size for size of hits(
http://localhost:9200/productindex/_search?size=2&q=armanihttp://localhost:9200/productindex/_search?q=armani),

I want same for highlight like (
http://localhost:9200/productindex/_search?q=armani&highlight=armani)

I don't know how to tell you that a browser by its own does not render any json document.

Elasticsearch does not have graphical interface. It's a "server". You can have a look at Kibana if you want that.

If you want that elasticsearch returns you highlight fragments, you need to use highlight feature and render the result in your application.

It's hard to explain without any exact question.
Could you describe what you did not understand in what I wrote before?

"took": 6,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 1,

"hits": [
{

Is it possible to get this json having

i am also using
{
"highlight" : {

}
}
}
in body, but it is not working.

thanks

Yes it is possible if you apply exactly what is written in the guide: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-highlighting.html

What query did you run? What is not working?

If you could gist a full example of what you are doing it could help a lot and save some time: See http://www.elasticsearch.org/help/

You can not mix both syntax (as a http parameter and as a body).

Have a look at: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-body.html

The rest of the search request should be passed within the body itself. The body content can also be passed as a REST parameter named source.

The link I provided tells you that if you don't want to use HTTP body, you can put your JSON QueryDSL as an HTTP parameter under source.

Something like: http://localhost:9200/_search?source=XXXXXX

Where XXXXX is your json document (QueryDSL that is)
