Hi @shubham21101997

In the log it says that you must change the value of the [max\_analyzed\_offset](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules.html#index-max-analyzed-offset) config.  
See the warning: [Highlighting | Elasticsearch Guide [8.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/highlighting.html#offsets-strategy)
