I searched in th issues to see the concerned ticket requesting for  
hightlight in nested types but couldnt find any.

Can someone please tell what is the situation of this feature.  
Is it already there or is it planned in future ?

Thanks

So far i am not able to find a solution for the following scenarios

- There is a parent/child relation.
- Query ius ran against parent but it concerns the child too.
- Query have to be executed on parent/child data model and highlighted  
fragments of the matching children have to be retrieved.

As highlighting is not supported in both parent/child and nested , how can  
i achieve this ?

Thanks  
Vineeth
