Hi,

We are using ElasticSearch with version 2.4.

When we do search in a field for query as below in a field, it is not highlighting the complete phrase word.

(Google OR Bing) AND "SQL Developer"

The above query gives result properly, but if we use it with Hit-highlighting, it highlights not only Google and Bing, but it also consider the both SQL and Developer as separate words and highlight them separately instead of highlighting only exact phrase "SQL Developer" .

Below is the C# code, we are using for the same.

string keyword = @"(Google OR Bing) AND "SQL Developer"";  
var filterQueries = new List\<Func\<QueryContainerDescriptor, QueryContainer\>\>();  
filterQueries.Add(m2 =\>  
m2.QueryString(m3 =\> m3.Fields("Note").Query(Keyword)));

ISearchResponse result = client.Search(S =\> S.From(0)  
.Size(20)  
.MatchAll()  
.Query(q =\> q  
.Bool(b =\> b  
.Filter(filterQueries)  
))  
.Highlight(h =\> h  
.Fields(  
fs =\> fs  
.Field(p =\> p.Note)  
.Type(HighlighterType.Plain)  
.ForceSource()  
.FragmentSize(fs1)  
.NumberOfFragments(noF)  
)  
.PreTags("**")  
.PostTags("**")  
)  
);

Please help me if we are missing out any thing in query code.

Thanks  
Hardik
