Hello. I have query which works good from highlighting standpoint:

```auto
POST index/_search

                }
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

But if to change string "Orange" above with a multi word phrase like "Apple Orange" then highlighting information stopping to return for most of the results. The difference in results on UI looks like this:

We have two fields in the index. One for regular search and the other for exact search. For regular search field we have char\_filter which replaces underscores with spaces and removes many of special characters.  
We use Elasticsearch of version 7.7 on premises.  
This looks like an error.
