Hey,  
I'm writing a node.js application that uses ES,  
I want the results from my search to appear highlighted when they're shown in the HTML.  
How should I use it?  
The best option is that highlight will highlight the relevant words in "\_source".

You can't do that with \_source field but with other fields. Or you can store the full JSon again in another field and highlight it.
