Highlighting a text_phrase_prefix query

William_Schwarzenbac · August 9, 2011, 4:24am

I'm trying to get a quick and dirty autocomplete implementation
working and thought a decent approach would be to fetch the
highlighted phrase for a prefix phrase query and be done with it.
However, no highlights are returned for a text_prefix_phrase query. An
example curl:

curl 'http://localhost:9200/test_index/test_type/_search?pretty=true' -
d
'{
"highlight":{
"fields": {
"name": {}
}
},
"query":{
"text_phrase_prefix":{
"name": "Walla Wa"
}
}}'

This returns a non-empty result with no highlights. On the other hand,
a text_phrase query returns the highlights.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Will

Hi Shay,
Version is 0.16.2. I'm guessing it's time to upgrade.
Thanks,
Will

Yea, it should be fixed in 0.17.

Just tried on 0.17.4. Same behavior. I don't think the release notes mention
this problem.

Just a note: I've tried with both highlighters by specifying term_vector on
the field in question and by leaving it unspecified.

Can you gist a recreation then? Simpler for me to get started at looking at
it.

Gisted a script:

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1135250

highlight_query.sh

#!/bin/sh

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/example_index/'

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/example_index/example_type/_mapping?pretty=true' -d \
'{
    "example_type": {
        "Properties": {
            "name": {
                "type": "string",

This file has been truncated. show original

should work as an end-to-end repro of the issue.

Hello,

I have the same problems than William.
I'm working the elasticsearch version 0.19.4.
Is there an error on his script ? or there's a feature not yet implemented ?

Thanks,
Christophe.

Hi there,

I experience the same problem using the current 20.2.0 release. Is this a
bug or is there a conceptual problem?

Thanks,
Thomas

I had the same problem with 0.20.2, which disappeared after updating to the
current 0.20.4 release.
