Greetings to all  
I have the following problem:

I'm doing some tests with facetings

My script is as follows:

> <https://gist.github.com/nayelisantacruz/6610862>

the result I get is as follows:

{  
"took": 2,  
"timed\_out": false,  
"\_shards": {  
"total": 5,  
"successful": 5,  
"failed": 0  
},  
"hits": {  
"total": 2,  
"max\_score": 1,  
"hits": []  
},  
"facets": {  
"title": {  
"\_type": "terms",  
"missing": 0,  
"total": 2,  
"other": 0,  
"terms": [  
{  
"term": "JavaScript",  
"count": 1  
},  
{  
"term": "Java Platform, Standard Edition",  
"count": 1  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

which is fine, but the problem is that I can not display the "highlighting"

I was expecting a result like the following:

..........  
..........  
..........

```
"facets": {
    "title": {
        "_type": "terms",
        "missing": 0,
        "total": 2,
        "other": 0,
        "terms": [
            {
                "term": "<b>Java</b>Script",
                "count": 1
            },
            {
                "term": "<b>Java</b> Platform, Standard Edition",
                "count": 1
            }
        ]
    }
}

```

..........  
..........  
..........

Anyone can help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing,  
please

Thank you very much for your attention

Hey

highlighting does not work inside facet results, but only for search  
results (which you set to 0 using the size parameter).
