Hi,

Elastic search is not highlighting all the occurrences. Is there any configuration to achieve this result?

Data - Road 1, Road 2, Road 3  
Search by keyword: Road

Expected Result  
Highlight : _ **Road** _ 1, _ **Road** _ 2, _ **Road** _ 3

Actual Result  
Highlight: _ **Road** _ 1, Road 2, Road 3

Thanks!

Fixed it using posting highlighter  
Added following line in mappings for specific field

"index\_options" : "offsets"
