How to get the date/numeric field highlighted when we search in elasticsearch? The requirement is to search the key word in all the fields and list the fields with that value. We are able to get the highlight for the string data type fields but unable to get that for date/number data type. ---

I'm only aware of text [highlighting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.14/highlighting.html#how-es-highlighters-work-internally) being intentional. Subscribing to also hear if there's a way to highlight date/numbers. ---
