Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to have offsets of the highlighted elements without having to manualy parse the highlight result. For instance, on the highlight result : "A new _bonsai_ _tree_ in the office" I would like to have the offsets of the two hits "bonsai" and "tree". Here the result would be : bonsai :[6, 12] and tree:[13, 17] If it's not possible right now, it would be nice to have it in next versions Pierre -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
