Hello All, We perform exact match query on \_all field and highlight an _analyzed field (text.), which contains the text: { "query" : { "bool" : { "must" : [ { "bool" : { "must" : [ { "query\_string" : { "query" : ""published in 1937"", "fields" : ["\_all"], "default\_operator" : "and", "boost" : 10.0 } } ] } } ] } }, "filter" : { "and" : { "filters" : [ { "and" : { "filters" : [ { "fquery" : { "query" : { "query\_string" : { "query" : ""58468762-fddc-44ea-af4a-270d00000080"", "fields" : ["\_id"] } }, "\_cache" : true } } ] } } ] } }, "fields" : ["\_source", "\_score"], "track\_scores" : true, "highlight" : { "fields" : { "text._" : { "fragment\_size" : 50000, "number\_of\_fragments" : 1000 } } } } We receive a document for result, but it has no highlighting. Sometimes there is partial highlighting: for example if we search for "we live in NY" the highlight is: _live_ in _NY\_ _-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi, I'm not sure why you don't get highlights for this particular query, but regarding the "we live in NY" example, I would guess that you are either using the default analyzer or an analyzer that has stop words configured, and this causes very common words such as "we" or "in" to be ignored when highlighting. Here is an example that would highlight "we" and "in": > On Sun, Dec 15, 2013 at 4:26 PM, mayap [maya.pollack@gmail.com](mailto:maya.pollack@gmail.com) wrote: > Hello All, > > We perform exact match query on \_all field and highlight an _analyzed field > (text.), which contains the text: > { > "query" : { > "bool" : { > "must" : [ { > "bool" : { > "must" : [ { > "query\_string" : { > "query" : ""published in 1937"", > "fields" : ["\_all"], > "default\_operator" : "and", > "boost" : 10.0 > } > } ] > } > } ] > } > }, > "filter" : { > "and" : { > "filters" : [ { > "and" : { > "filters" : [ { > "fquery" : { > "query" : { > "query\_string" : { > "query" : ""58468762-fddc-44ea-af4a-270d00000080"", > "fields" : ["\_id"] > } > }, > "\_cache" : true > } > } ] > } > } ] > } > }, > "fields" : ["\_source", "\_score"], > "track\_scores" : true, > "highlight" : { > "fields" : { > "text._" : { > "fragment\_size" : 50000, > "number\_of\_fragments" : 1000 > } > } > } > } > > We receive a document for result, but it has no highlighting.
