Highlighting feature issue in case of complex query

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi, I have a problem with the highlighting feature. In my query I use
dis_max, constant_score, bool and query_string together. It works when I
use for example only the terms query or only the query string query. Are
there any restrictions on the use of highlighting?

"_score": "desc"

"number_of_fragments": 0,

Problem solved. I declare the following in the mapping for the fields I
want to highlight:

:term_vector => "with_positions_offsets", :store => "yes"

This enables the fast vector highlighter.
