I want to show all of the highlights for all documents (i.e if a document has 10 000 hits I need them all). Setting the highlighter option number\_of\_fragments to a really high number does the job, but if a document has thousands of hits for that search the client will overload. Attempts to find pagination support for highlights have failed. Can this be solved in some other clever way? ---

Thanks, I'll see if I can make that work. ---
