I am indexing some entities that have up to 140 fields in the resultant  
document - ie lots.  
I am providing a simple/powerful google-style search of such entities using  
the \_all field - however, to make the user's life easier, we do prefix  
searches.  
(e.g. rather than the user having to type "johannesburg" or "aluminium" -  
they can just type "joh" or "alu").

We display the results in a grid (with number of columns much less than  
140!)

The users are new to this kind of search, and while they appreciate the  
many benefits, they are sometimes confused by hits they don't expect.  
E.g. they may search for johannesburg, expecting to get a hit on the  
location - but get some odd hits because someone has put "johannesburg" in  
a comment for something whose location is not johannesburg - and this is  
compounded by the fact that they can't necessarily see why they got a  
particular hit (because we show less than 140 columns - and some things  
like comments are unsuitable to show in a grid.

In my experience its a bit of a common problem - you tend to want to show  
the user the fields they can search on - but in reality, there are always  
more fields that you want to search on than you want to display (esp as  
columns).

The question is how to assist the user to see why something matched.

The problem is we are searching on \_all so traditional highlighting doesn't  
(and probably will never) help.

My question is are there some other tricks that anyone can suggest that  
will help the user understand why they got unexpected hits?

E.g. One of my initial thoughts is that the nature of prefix search means  
they might get more false-positives than expected simply because they  
haven't typed enough characters. e.g. "joh" will get all items located in  
"Johannesburg", but also get all items created by "John". My thought was  
that maybe just showing (in a tooltip) the matching term might be of some  
help - ie if the user sees "John", they know that simply typing one more  
character - ie "joha" will eliminate a raft of false-positives.

Thoughts?

Cheers...

I think the problem is pretty hard. We have about 10 fields and use  
the experimental  
highlighter [https://github.com/wikimedia/search-highlighter](https://github.com/wikimedia/search-highlighter)to highlight  
in "chains" using skip\_if\_last\_matched. You could try that. It might not  
be fast enough, but it'd help, I think.

I have looked at doing highlighting on \_all.  
I set store: true, and I am getting results.  
I expect the contents of \_all to be gobbledigook - so I am limiting the  
fragments size to zero, so I _just_ get the highlighted _word_. (I am  
setting the pre/post tags to empty string).  
What I am not expecting, and am getting, are sometimes multiple words in  
the one fragment: e.g.  
For prefix search of "2013", I am getting the following highlights  
1: "2013"  
2: "2013-10-01"  
3: "2013 0.0000"

I expect all of them except the last one. Why is 0.0000 in there since  
there is a space?  
Similarly, for my prefix search of "ya", I get the following highlights:  
1: "Yammin"  
2: "Yammin 0.0000"

Is (2) expected? Is there a buggette?

Cheers...

Anyone familiar with highlighting have any insight?

I imaging its caused by your analysis configuration. User the analyze api  
and check what is output for all those terms.
