As far as I was able to figure out it is enough to specify Highlight field  
as "\*" (single star character) in Kibana table panel settings to have ES  
and Kibana highlight the matches it finds in all document fields available.  
This is great and this is what I wanted. The only setback is that it seems  
Kibana only does highlighting for documents in compressed state  
(represented as a single line in the table panel). When document row is  
expanded - highlight does not happen for its properties which is really  
pity.

Is there anything I can do to have highlight working for expanded documents?

Thank you!  
Konstantin
