I am using Kibana and Elasticsearch for my project and viewing data of the Index in the Discover tab of Kibana. I search for data using the search text box on the Kibana UI.

I have the following mapping:

"Organization": {"properties" : {"Details": { "properties" : {"flow" : {"properties" : {"id" : {"type":"long"}}}} } }}

and I would like to search for the property "id":2. Since id is at a deep level in the object heirarchy of the Index, is there a way to highlight it ? The search return correctly when I put the search as [Organization.Details.flow.id:2](http://Organization.Details.flow.id:2). However, it doesnt highlight the id property having the result or any other data as well as doesnt expand the data to point to the Id.
