when using an nGram filter on a field, when trying to highlight said field  
in search results, elasticsearch highlights the entire word instead of just  
the query

so if I have the text "American" and I search for "rican"  
highlighting should look like this Ame_rican_  
but instead it does this _American_

Just follow the directions here [http://stackoverflow.com/a/15005321/141822](http://stackoverflow.com/a/15005321/141822)  
What you'll get back if you're using elasticsearch 0.90.0 and 0.90.1 is

{  
"took" : 11,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 1,  
"successful" : 1,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 3,  
"max\_score" : 0.71231794,  
"hits" : [ {  
"\_index" : "myindex",  
"\_type" : "product",  
"\_id" : "0KyaIB8xRmqE-g0hl0ky6g",  
"\_score" : 0.71231794,  
"fields" : {  
"code" : "Samsung Galaxy i7500"  
},  
"highlight" : {  
"code.ngram" : ["_Samsung Galaxy i7500_"],  
"code" : ["_Samsung Galaxy i7500_"]  
}  
}, {  
"\_index" : "myindex",  
"\_type" : "product",  
"\_id" : "vZwpcBu0QAyGmP9LHz1hUA",  
"\_score" : 0.71231794,  
"fields" : {  
"code" : "Samsung Galaxy 5 Europa"  
},  
"highlight" : {  
"code.ngram" : ["_Samsung Galaxy 5 Europa_"],  
"code" : ["_Samsung Galaxy 5 Europa_"]  
}  
}, {  
"\_index" : "myindex",  
"\_type" : "product",  
"\_id" : "7sNkZAlxSlmuLZA9S68bvg",  
"\_score" : 0.71231794,  
"fields" : {  
"code" : "Samsung Galaxy Mini"  
},  
"highlight" : {  
"code.ngram" : ["_Samsung Galaxy Mini_"],  
"code" : ["_Samsung Galaxy Mini_"]  
}  
} ]  
}  
}

which is clearly not correct
