Hello, I have following query:

> GET bp/\_search  
> {  
> "query" : {  
> "query\_string" : {  
> "query" : "EUR"  
> }  
> },  
> "highlight" : {  
> "fields": {  
> "businessData": {}  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }

So I expected the EUR sign to be surronded by the tag in my highlight, but I get following response.

I don't see anything from highlighting. I've looked up bugs and I see highlighting doesn't work properly in version 2.1, But I use 2.0.2.Is tha version also bad or do I do something bad in my query?  
thanks
