We have kept stopwords in the index, but would like to disable the highlighting of high frequency words like "and", "the" and "at" etc,while using common terms query. Is it possible? do I need to use custom highlighter? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
