Wooow, it's working. THANKS! 😃

I don't understand why should I determine that I want highlight on text in the search level (and not at highlight section)?

Another question, let's say my document looks like this:

```json
{ 
  "type": "tweet",
  "fields": {
         "user" : "jack",
         "message" : "I'm jack",
         "comment" : "my first tweet"
         }
}

```

Can I search on **_fields.\*_** instead of specific fields, like: _{fields: "comment, message", query: "your query"}_?  
I understand that on \_all it's not working, but I see in [elasticsearch documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html) that I can use wildcard, they use the follow example:

```json
{
    "query_string" : {
        "fields" : ["city.*"],
        "query" : "this AND that OR thus",
        "use_dis_max" : true
    }
}

```

For me it failed with SearchPhaseExecutionException 😟  
Any suggestion?

Thanks,  
Effi
